title: Elderly-onset IBD: a milder disease?
abstract: Patients with elderly-onset IBD are more likely to have marked comorbidities and polypharmacy than those diagnosed at a younger age, which might affect therapeutic decision-making. Increased knowledge of this higher-risk group might guide patient management. Data from a large population-based study evaluating the clinical presentation and course of elderly-onset IBD are discussed.
