First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looked at gut bacteria in 214 people with Crohn's disease, comparing those diagnosed as children (under 17) with those diagnosed after age 40. Researchers wanted to see if the bacteria differ by age and if those differences are linked to genetics. The goal is to better understand Crohn's and eventually tailor treatments based on a person's age and gut bacteria.
