    Severe obesity and bariatric surgery are independent risk factors for developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

  • 2

    The incidence of IBD was highest among individuals with severe obesity without bariatric surgery at 0.90 cases per 1000 person-years.

  • 3

    Bariatric surgery patients had an IBD incidence of 0.84 cases per 1000 person-years, indicating a potential link between surgery and IBD.

  • 4

    Smoking was also identified as a significant risk factor for developing IBD, with a hazard ratio of 1.57.

  • 5

    Noninvasive screening for IBD is recommended for individuals with severe obesity and those who have undergone bariatric surgery.
