Abstract:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a common and frequently occurred clinical disease, and its incidence rate increases with age.GERD in the elderly is characterized by relatively severe esophageal injury, more complications and co-morbidities, so standardized treatment is particularly important.The treatment of GERD in the elderly includes lifestyle intervention, dietary modification, medication therapy, and interventional therapy(mainly laparoscopy and endoscopy).It is especially important to pay attention to comprehensive treatment with full consideration of the systemic health status of older patients.
