“…Comprehensive studies and reviews are available on the links of Crohn's disease with social and ethnic factors (Economou and Pappas, 2008;Hou et al, 2009), urban dwelling and communal water availability (Falkinham et al, 2008;Kaevska and Hruska, 2010;van Ingen et al, 2010), showers and bathrooms with hot water supplies (Gent et al, 1994;Duggan et al, 1998), the use of home refrigerators (Hugot et al, 2003) and higher hygienic standards (Guarner, 2007;Klement et al, 2008).
