AB  - Gastrointestinal  (GI)  conditions  are  commonly  seen  in  older  adults  and  can  present  in  various  forms  and  severity,  ranging  from  mild  bouts  of  constipation  to  life-threatening  episodes  of  bowel  ischemia.  Certain  conditions  have  a  higher  prevalence  in  older  people,  such  as  vascular  disease  and  neoplasia.  In  addition,  older  adults  often  have  multiple  chronic  illnesses  and  use  concomitant  medications,  such  as  nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drugs  (NSAIDs)  and  anticoagulants,  which  can  both  predispose  them  to  GI  diseases  and  complicate  their  management.  Endoscopic  procedures  can  be  safely  performed  in  older  patients  but  require  careful  consideration  of  their  medical  multimorbidity,  cardiopulmonary  status,  and  overall  ability  to  tolerate  procedural  sedation.
