The incidence of UC:CD was 0.75:1 compared to 2.3:1 from the previous study. The prevalence rates were 15.08, 10.13, 4.84, and 0.11 for IBD, CD, UC, and IBD-U per 100\u200a000 population, respectively. The matching incidence rates in a nearby rural area were higher, at 3.29, 1.88, 1.41, and 0.47 per 100\u200a000 person-years, respectively, but the overall incident cases were very low.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest an increasing incidence of IBD in Malaysia, in keeping with the second stage of the global evolution of IBD.
