Ulcerative colitis (UC):
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes ulcers and inflammation in the colon and rectum. It's the most common form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Etiology
The exact cause of UC is unknown, but it's likely a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some risk factors include:
- Family history: A family history of UC increases the risk of developing the disease.
- Drugs: Oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can increase the risk of UC.
- Appendectomy: An appendectomy, especially for acute appendicitis in young patients, appears to protect against developing UC.
- Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding appears to decrease the risk of UC.
- Urban living: Urban living can increase the risk of UC.
- Incidence
The incidence of UC varies by location, but the overall incidence is reported as 1.2 to 20.3 cases per 100,000 people per year. Incidence rates are highest in North America and Western Europe, and lowest in the southern hemisphere and eastern countries.
- Prevalence
The prevalence of UC varies by location, but the overall prevalence is reported as 7.6 to 245 cases per 100,000 people per year. Prevalence rates are highest in North America and Western Europe, and lowest in the southern hemisphere and eastern countries.
- Age
UC has a bimodal pattern of incidence, with the main peak between ages 15 and 30 years, and a second smaller peak between ages 50 and 70 year
