A total of 10 082 568 participants of the 2009 national health screening programme were enrolled. Newly diagnosed Crohn\u2019s disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC] were identified using the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision and specialized national codes for rare intractable diseases. Waist circumference [WC] was classified into six groups and compared with the reference values of 85.0\u201389.9 cm for men and 80.0\u201384.9 cm for women.

After adjustment for age, sex, lifestyle behaviours, income and body mass index [BMI], the increase in baseline WC was significantly associated with the risk of developing CD, but not UC, compared to the references. The risk of developing CD in subjects with AO increased significantly compared to those without AO [adjusted hazard ratio, 1.40; 95% confidence interval, 1.21\u20131.61], regardless of obesity based on BMI.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Individuals with AO bore an increased risk
