High-resolution esophageal impedance manometry (HRIM) was used to evaluate the effects of aging on esophageal motility in individuals aged <40 years, 40 to 65 years, and >65 years. Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure was similar across all three groups but upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressure was significantly lower in the oldest age group. Other significant differences seen in the oldest age category included longer contractile duration on position 3, lower contractile amplitude on position 4, lower distal contractile integral, lower contractile front velocity, and lower onset velocity. Impedance values were similar across all three groups.
Older people may have more esophageal symptoms related to decreased UES pressure, distal esophageal motility, and peristaltic velocity.

Disturbances of esophageal motility have been reported to be more frequent in aged population. However, the physiology of disturbances in esophageal motility during aging is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of age on the esophageal motility using high-resolution esophageal impedance manometry (HRIM).
Methods
Esophageal motor function of 268 subjects were measured using HRIM in 3 age groups, < 40 years (n = 32), 40-65 years (n = 185), and > 65 years (n = 62). Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressure, integrated relaxation pressure, distal contractile integral, contractile front velocity, distal latency, pressure, and duration of contraction on 4 positions along the esophagus, and complete bolus transit were measured.
Results
Basal UES pressure was lower in the group aged over 65 years (P < 0.001) but there was no significant difference in the LES pressure. Contractile duration on position 3 (10 cm from proximal LES high pressure zone) was longer in aged group (P = 0.001), and the contractile amplitude on position 4 (5 cm from proximal LES high pressure zone) was lower in aged group (P = 0.005). Distal contractile integral was lower in aged group (P = 0.037). Contractile front velocity (P = 0.015) and the onset velocity (P = 0.040) was lower in aged group. There was no significant difference in impedance values.
Conclusion
The decrease of UES pressure, distal esophageal motility, and peristaltic velocity might be related with esophageal symptoms in the aged population.
