24
Q

Risk factors for diverticular disease

A

Age • DD in patients younger than 50 years is a more virulent disease and is more
predominant in men
• Incidence increases steeply with age, beginning at age 40 years
Diet DD is associated with a history of low-fiber diet
Gender Incidence is more predominant in men before 65 years of age, and more
predominant in women after 65 years of age
Geography • Most common in industrialized nations
• Less common in Asian countries, where it tends to be right-sided
Medication use • Chronic NSAID use doubles the risk for DD and quadruples risk of perforation
• Opioids and corticosteroids increase risk of perforation
• Calcium channel blockers reduce risk of perforation
Obesity Striking increase in incidence among the obese, especially before age 40 years
Physical activity Risk of developing DD is inversely proportionate to activity level
Smoking Contradictory findings

25
Q

protective factors for diverticulitis

A
BMI 18-25
• Red meat <4/week
• ≥ 23 g fiber/day
• Exercise 2 hrs/week
• No smoking
26
Q

diverticulitis Tx - with abx?

A

Omitting antibiotics in the treatment of
uncomplicated acute diverticulitis did not
result in more complicated diverticulitis,
recurrent diverticulitis or sigmoid
resections at long-term follow up.

27
Q

diverticulitis Diet

A

This systematic review and GRADE assessment conditionally
recommend the use of liberalized diets as opposed to dietary
restrictions for adults with acute, uncomplicated diverticulitis.
• It also strongly recommends a high dietary fiber diet aligning
with dietary guidelines, with or without dietary fiber
supplementation, after the acute episode has resolved

28
Q

diverticulitis Tx

A

fiber
probiotics
rifaximin

Kefir and exercise, stress reduction
