Abstract
Histamine tests repeated in the same individuals after periods of 10 or more yrs. show little or no change in some subjects, whereas in others there is a marked fall in gastric secretion. The avg. curve of decline of gastric secretion with advancing yrs. is a resultant of various findings of this sort. Basal gastric secretion also declines with advancing yrs.Keywords
