Re: Peads: IBS zkadhem - 05-24-09 20:15 Explanation: Age: Ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease are diagnosed most commonly in young adults, late adolescence to the third decade of life. The age distribution of newly diagnosed IBD is bell-shaped; the peak incidence occurs in people in the early part of their second decade, with the vast majority of new diagnoses made in people aged 15-40 years, though children younger than 5 years and the elderly occasionally are diagnosed. Of patients with IBD, 10% are younger than 18 years.
All the explanation was about IBD! this is why you were perplexed.
Thanks :)
