description Crohn’s disease may affect individuals across all age groups. Usually, it tends to start at a young age, hence late onset Crohn’s disease may be difficult to diagnose.

The incidence of Crohn’s disease is more in the United States and Europe and less in Asia and Africa. This makes it more challenging to suspect Crohn’s disease in an elderly individual of Indian origin. It may be confused with Irritable bowel syndrome or Intestinal tuberculosis.
