In previous papers we (1) and others (2) have shown that gastric secretion decreases with advancing years. This finding, however, has been based on averages of many examinations in different people and no accurate information is available as to what happens in the individual. Does a gradual decline of secretion take place in everyone or do some people undergo an abrupt defection, while others preserve their gastric juice unchanged into old age? In the attempt to answer these questions we previously reported the results of standard histamine tests repeated in the same individuals after an interval of five years (3). The findings were of interest but, unfortunately, the five-year period appears to have been too brief to yield conclusive results. Recently it has been possible to re-examine five essentially normal people whose gastric secretions were explored over ten years ago. The data from these tests, which seem much more significant than those of the previous series, are herewith presented.
