Summary

This study follows 153 people aged 60 and older with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to see how disease activity affects frailty. Researchers will also check whether frailty raises the risk of hospitalization or death. Participants will have their frailty, IBD symptoms, and overall health tracked over time using simple questionnaires and tests.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors identify frail older IBD patients earlier and tailor treatment to reduce complications.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all patients.
