Bergman D, et al. - In 1995-2015, a nationwide cohort study was performed to evaluate 13,844 subjects with an incident diagnosis of microscopic colitis to quantify the incidence of microscopic colitis in Sweden. They noted 0.87% of the lifetime risk of developing microscopic colitis in women and 0.35% in males. They observed higher rates of microscopic colitis in females and among elderly candidates with increasing rates up to 75-79 years whereas the overall incidence of microscopic colitis was approximately 10.5 cases per 100,000 person-years. They recorded that 1 in 115 females and 1 in 286 men were supposed to be diagnosed with microscopic colitis and thus professing a considerable disease burden across a lifetime.
