Although hiatal hernia, diverticula and gallstones appear with increasing frequency during the middle years, these structural changes are most often asymptomatic. Many of the gastrointestinal complaints of patients in this age group are continuations of previous problems, such as an irritable bowel, or are related to dietary indiscretions. Esophageal function may also be altered.
虽然食管裂孔疝、憩室和胆结石在中年时期出现的频率越来越高，但这些结构变化大多没有症状。这个年龄段患者的许多胃肠道不适是先前问题的延续，比如肠易激综合征，或者与饮食不当有关。食管功能也可能发生改变。
