Why This Matters
Reported IBD rates in Brazil increased markedly between 2012 and 2025, which could mean more people will need diagnosis, specialist care, and medications. Rising numbers also matter for public-health planning and research into causes.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adult patients with IBD, newly diagnosed people, clinicians and health-system planners in Brazil, and epidemiology researchers.
