对399例老年患者进行了研究，以确定不同胃肠道疾病的发生率，并了解胃肠道问题对临床表现和最终结果的影响程度。276名患者因突发医疗事件入院治疗。123名患者患有慢性病。在第一组中，26.8%(74)有严重的胃肠道问题。在剩余的患者中，42%的患者存在重要的功能性或器质性胃肠道疾病。在第二组中，46%的患者有胃肠道疾病。消化系统损害是老年人发病和死亡的重要原因。
399 elderly patients were studied in order to establish the frequency of different gastrointestinal diseases and to see to what extent gastrointestinal problems influenced the clinical picture and the final outcome. 276 patients were hospitalized because of medical emergencies. 123 patients were chronically ill. In the first group, 26.8% (74) had major gastrointestinal problems. In 42% of the remaining patients, important functional or organic gastrointestinal disorders were present. In the second group, 46% of the patients had gastrointestinal diseases. Lesions of the digestive system are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the aged.
