Gastroesophageal sphincter pressure (GESP) and contractile waves of the esophagus were measured in 113 normal subjects ranging in age between 2 months and 74 years. The amplitude and duration of the peristaltic waves of the thoracic esophagus were similar in both children and adults. Resting GESP pressures were dependent upon age. In children under one year, high pressures were recorded. The high pressures gradually diminished until between 15 and 24 years, whereafter they remained at similar values up to 65 years. After this age, a further decline in pressure was observed. The importance of these findings are discussed.
对年龄在2个月至74岁之间的113名正常受试者测量了胃食管括约肌压力（GESP）和食管收缩波。儿童和成人胸段食管蠕动波的幅度和持续时间相似。静息GESP压力取决于年龄。1岁以下儿童记录到较高压力。这些高压力逐渐降低，直到15至24岁，此后直至65岁保持在相似水平。65岁以后，压力进一步下降。讨论了这些发现的重要性。
