The disease course in microscopic colitis may be influenced by hormonal factors
An association was verified with smoking. Celiac disease may be associated with more active disease. The observed lower OR for more active disease after bilateral oophorectomy is in line with a previously suggested association between the risk of MC and the hormonal balance. The exact mechanisms behind the hormonal effect on the disease course found in the present study are although still obscure.
