Overview
Although uncommon in the general population, ischemic colitis occurs with greater frequency in the elderly, and is the most common form of bowel ischemia.[1][2][3]
Prevalence
The exact incidence of ischemic colitis is difficult to estimate, as many patients with mild ischemia may not seek medical attention. Ischemic colitis is responsible for about 1 in 2000 hospital admissions, and is seen on about 1 in 100 endoscopies.[4]
Sex
Men and women are affected equally;
Age
Ischemic colitis is a disease of the elderly, with more than 90% of cases occurring in people over the age of 60.[4]
