RESUMO
The frequency of inflammatory bowel disease was estimated prospectively in the period 1981 to November 1988 for the 45,000 inhabitants on the Faroe Islands. The mean incidence of ulcerative colitis was 20.3/10(5)/year and of Crohn's disease, 3.6/10(5)/year. The male to female ratio was 1.21. Median age at diagnosis in both conditions was 36 years for women and 41 years for men.

Each of eight adipose but otherwise normal patients on a reducing diet received daily oral doses of frusemide for four days; the degree of hypercalciuria was found to be significant during the first three days, but on day four the calcium excretion in the urine had become normal though frusemide was still being given. The rates of excretion of sodium and calcium in the urine were closely correlated.

A prospective epidemiological study was carried out from 1981 to 1983 to determine the incidence of peptic ulcer on the Faroe Islands. The annual incidence of first-time-diagnosed peptic ulcer was on the average 3.3 per 1000 inhabitants aged 15 years and older. No significant changes in incidence were observed during the 3-year period. The male to female ratio of peptic ulcer was 2.1:1. The annual incidences of duodenal and gastric ulcer were 2.3 per 1000 and 1.0 per 1000, respectively. The duodenal to gastric ulcer ratio was approximately 2:1 in both male and female patients. The incidence of peptic ulcer observed in the Faroe Islands is very high compared with other countries. The incidence of duodenal ulcer is of the same high magnitude as observed in Scotland, whereas the incidence of gastric ulcer is twice as high as generally found in Western countries and in accordance with the rates found in Arctic areas.
