  • Title: Ageing and the stomach.
    Author: Steinheber FU.
    Journal: Clin Gastroenterol; 1985 Oct; 14(4):657-88. PubMed ID: 3910307.
    Abstract:
    Minor alterations of gastric function are frequently found in the elderly, but are rarely of any consequence. The attrition of normal defences followed by inadequate reparative response leads to an increasing number of significant ailments while simultaneously muting their clinical manifestations. Greater recognition of the nature of these ailments and their protean presentation should improve their detection and, hopefully, the outcome for the patient.
