Inflammatory Bowel Disease
What are the risk factors?
IBD tends to run in families and certain ethnic groups, although there is no clear-cut pattern. The occurrence of IBD is reported to be the highest in individuals of Jewish heritage followed by non-Jewish Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians. Also, IBD rate tends to be higher in people diagnosed with panic disorder or have a history of psychological trauma and abuse.
