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.
胃部功能的微小改变在老年人中很常见，但很少有任何严重后果。正常防御功能的损耗，随后是修复反应不足，导致严重疾病的数量不断增加，同时掩盖了它们的临床表现。对这些疾病的本质及其多种多样的表现有更深入的认识，应该会改善对它们的检测，并有望改善患者的预后。
