During ageing, histological and physiological modifications occur in the stomach leading to a confirmed state of gastric frailty defined by a decreased capacity of tissue repairing after mucosa gastric aggression. The process of intrinsic gastric ageing may play a role in inducing abnormalities of gastric epithelial proliferation against injury but, most of the time, pathophysiological modifications observed in older people are the consequences of chronic insults, such as chronic Helicobacter pylori infection, polymedication, especially Proton-pump inhibitors(PPI) and Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs(NSAID), and co morbidities. One of the major clinical consequences of the gastric frailty is the higher vulnerability to the occurrence of peptic ulcer disease during ageing.In this review recent data on gastric changes during ageing, focussing especially on histological modifications and motility disorders are summarized.
