Core Tip	Inflammatory bowel disease can be mis-diagnosed as its clinical features are similar in younger and elderly patients. Therapeutic regimes may be different with elderly patients being less likely to have immunosuppressant drugs and Anti-TNF’s either driven by clinican or patient preference and disease related factors. Important factors such as polypharmacy and co-morbidity must also be considered when making clinical decisions. Finally, complications may be more common in the elderly. Further evidence through clinical trials and consensus guidelines are needed to assist clinicians in making evidence based decisions in these patients.
