Abstract:
The prevalence of chronic constipation among the elderly is significant, exerting adverse effects on both their physical and mental health.Presently, pharmacological therapy remains the predominant treatment modality for elderly patients with chronic constipation; however, prolonged use can lead to drug dependence, tolerance, and adverse effects.This article systematically reviews non-pharmacological interventions for chronic constipation in elderly patients, both domestically and internationally, aiming to provide a comprehensive reference for clinical practice.
