Gastritis in the elderly
Gastroenterol Clin North Am.
1990 Jun.
Abstract
The elderly have an increased prevalence of gastritis and the complications associated with it. The two major classes of acute and chronic gastritis, type A and B, are discussed as they relate to clinical findings, histologic features, and pathogenesis. An age-related increase in the frequency of Helicobacter pylori (formerly Campylobacter pylori) infection in the elderly parallels the known age-related increase in the prevalence of gastritis. The close association between gastritis in the elderly and hypochlorhydria and gastric carcinoma is also explored.
