Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common disorder in all patients but a particular problem in the elderly, for whom the disease often presents with advanced mucosal damage and other complications. Symptoms are also not as reliable an indication of disease severity in older patients. Likewise, therapy is more difficult because of potential side effects and drug interactions.
胃食管反流病在所有患者中都是一种常见疾病，但在老年人中是一个特殊问题，因为该疾病在老年人中常表现为严重的黏膜损伤和其他并发症。症状在老年患者中也并非疾病严重程度的可靠指标。同样，由于潜在的副作用和药物相互作用，治疗也更加困难。
