    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Geriatrics
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are prevalent in the elderly population.
    • Older adults present unique physiological challenges impacting GI health and disease presentation.
    • Standard diagnostic and management protocols may not be optimal for frail older patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide tailored recommendations for diagnosing and managing common GI disorders in elderly patients.
    • To address specific challenges associated with GI bleeding, swallowing disorders, and ulcers in the geriatric population.
    • To highlight the importance of malignancy screening in the follow-up of GI conditions in older adults.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and synthesis of current literature on geriatric gastroenterology.
