Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in India: Rising Incidence and the Role of Lifestyle
Last Updated: Observed annually on May 19, World IBD Day offers a global platform to raise awareness about inflammatory bowel disease and its growing impact—particularly in countries like India The prevalence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has dramatically increased in India in recent years, especially in metropolitan areas. Once considered a Western disease, IBD is now emerging as a significant health concern in our country, with prevalence rates rising rapidly and projections indicating a continued upward trend. This surge is closely linked to increasing urbanization and shifting lifestyle patterns within Indian society. Our dietary habits have undergone significant changes—we now consume fewer fresh fruits and vegetables and more processed foods and refined oils. These dietary alterations disrupt the delicate balance of gut flora, increasing the risk of chronic inflammation in the intestines. Additionally, exposure to environmental pollutants and contaminated food further exacerbates the issue. Dr. Naveen Polavarapu, Consultant in Gastroenterology, Liver Diseases & Transplant Surgery, Yashoda Hospitals, shares critical insights into this growing problem. Modern urban life contributes further to the burden of IBD. Higher stress levels, sedentary lifestyles, and insufficient sun exposure are all factors that heighten both the risk and severity of the disease. Stress, in particular, not only triggers disease flare-ups but also impacts patients' overall quality of life and treatment outcomes. Since IBD commonly affects individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, the socioeconomic consequences are especially profound, affecting people during their most productive years. Despite these challenges, awareness about IBD remains limited—especially in rural areas—resulting in delayed diagnosis and inadequate treatment. There is a pressing need to raise public awareness, encourage timely consultations for chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, and promote lifestyle changes such as stress management, regular physical activity, and healthier eating habits. Addressing the rising prevalence of IBD in India and improving patient outcomes will require a coordinated effort from the public, policymakers, and healthcare professionals alike. Observed annually on May 19, World IBD Day offers a global platform to raise awareness about inflammatory bowel disease and its growing impact—particularly in countries like India. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for education, early detection, and community support to improve the lives of those affected by IBD.
