Core Tip This retrospective cohort study highlights significant differences in the clinical presentation and management of patients with older-onset vs younger-onset inflammatory bowel disease. Our findings reveal that elderly patients present with fewer extraintestinal manifestations. Notably, older patients receive far fewer immunosuppressive and biological therapies than younger patients do, reflecting a conservative clinical approach likely driven by age-related safety concerns. These results emphasize the urgent clinical need for age-specific management guidelines to ensure that elderly patients receive adequate and safe therapies without compromising long-term outcomes.
