Abstract
COLONIC DISORDERS are of particular importance in elderly patients because of marked age-associated increases in their prevalence and differences in their presentation and prognosis compared with the young. More than two thirds of colorectal cancers occur in people 65 years or older, with the prevalence of colonic diverticula over 50% after age 70 years.1This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
