Patients over the age of 65 have a higher rate of esophageal and gastric diseases, including motility abnormalities, gastroesophageal reflux, reflux complications (such as Barrett's, dysplasia, and esophageal cancer), gastric ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Lower GI problems, such as pelvic floor abnormalities (including fecal incontinence), constipation, diarrheal illness, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and colon cancer, also appear more frequently and atypically in the elderly. Malnutrition and obesity are major concerns among older adults, who have special dietary challenges.
