Causes of Crohn's

** What are the causes of Crohn's disease? Who is affected by this disease?** If you or one of your loved ones is suffering from **Crohn's disease**, it must be interesting for you to know that the exact causes of this disease have not yet been fully determined. But research shows that several factors such as genetics, immune system and environmental conditions work hand in hand to cause this disease, which is considered as an inflammatory bowel disease. According to estimates, more than 20,000 people in Iran are suffering from this disease, and the probability of contracting it in men and women is almost the same. Although **Crohn's disease** can occur at any age, but It is more common among teenagers and young people between 15 and 35 years old. The following factors play an important role in causing this disease: - **Genetic and hereditary factors:** If one of your first-degree relatives (parents, children or siblings) has **inflammatory bowel diseases**, the probability that you are also at risk increases very, very slightly. This risk is more visible in **Crohn's disease** than **Ulcerative colitis**. - **Environmental factors:** - Environmental conditions and lifestyle play an important role in the occurrence of this disease. Research shows that living in urban areas and developed countries (often associated with air pollution, stress and modern lifestyle) may increase the risk of Crohn's disease. For example, this disease is more common in the northern parts of the country or urban areas. - **Disturbance in the interaction of the immune system with intestinal bacteria:** - Your digestive system usually hosts beneficial bacteria that help digest food. In people with inflammatory bowel disease, the immune system mistakenly identifies these harmless bacteria as invaders and attacks them. This abnormal reaction causes the transfer of white blood cells to the intestine and creates chronic inflammation, which ultimately leads to the symptoms of the disease.
