What age does Crohns start?

Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, can start at any age, but it most commonly develops during late adolescence or early adulthood, typically between the ages of 15 and 35. However, Crohn’s disease can also affect children and older adults. It is less common in younger children, but it can occur in infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In some cases, Crohn’s disease may also develop in individuals who are over the age of 60. The exact cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. If you suspect you or someone you know may have Crohn’s disease, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation, diagnosis, and management.
