title: Epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in different ethnic and religious groups: limitations and aetiological clues.
abstract: We present a review of epidemiological studies of inflammatory bowel disease and abdominal tuberculosis in various migrant communities in the United Kingdom. The differences between various South Asian groups such as Gujaratis, Bangladeshis and Punjabis are discussed in the context of age standardisation of incidence data and various dietary and social activities.
