RESUMEN
El diagnóstico y tratamiento de las enfermedades que padecen los ancianos de ambos sexos, figuran entre los objetivos priorizados en los programas ramales del Ministerio de Salud Pública cubano. Teniendo en cuenta que las modificaciones fisiológicas características del envejecimiento generan trastornos de la ingestión, digestión y absorción de los alimentos, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema para actualizar a los profesionales sanitarios sobre las afecciones que suelen presentarse en etapas avanzadas de la vida, entre las cuales sobresalen las digestivas, por lo cual deben ser muy específicas las decisiones médicas relacionadas con la detección, el control o la eliminación de esos procesos morbosos.
ABSTRACT
The diagnosis and treatment of those conditions that the elderly suffer from are included among the goals prioritized in branch programs of the Cuban Ministry of Public Health. Taking into account that physiological modifications typical of the aging lead to food uptake, digestion and absorption conditions, a literature survey on the topic was carried out in order that the health professionals are updated on conditions that are usual in advanced stages of life, among which the digestive conditions are found. Therefore, medical decisions regarding the detection, control or elimination of those morbid processes should be very specific.
