The rate of the geriatric population is gradually increasing in Turkey and around the world as access to health services becomes more widespread. With increasing age, there are some changes in the esophagus and due to these changes, gastroesophageal reflux may occur more easily. It has been reported that typical symptom identification rates in geriatric patient admissions are lower than in younger patients. However, it was stated that admission with alarm symptoms such as weight loss and anemia was significantly increased in the elderly patient group compared to the normal patient group. Therefore, early invasive evaluation should be considered in the geriatric age group. Lifestyle changes, medical treatments and, if necessary, surgical treatments can be used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease in the geriatric population, as in young patients.
