Inflammatory bowel disease has stages of epidemiology that can be tracked across global regions
Nature, Published online: 30 April 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-01301-xThe spatio-temporal evolution of inflammatory bowel disease across the world follows four epidemiological stages: emergence, acceleration in incidence, compounding prevalence and prevalence equilibrium. Classifying regions by epidemiological stage enables health-care systems to prepare for the evolving global burden.
