1 Gender differences in the impact of gastrointestinal problems and their association with frailty Derrick Lopez 1, Leon Flicker 1 & Annette Dobson 2 1 University of Western Australia, Australia 2 University of Queensland, Australia NHMRC/ARC Ageing Well, Ageing Productively Grant
2 GI problems in the elderly Common in old people GERD in yo: 190/100,000 men, 169/100,000 women 1 Dyspepsia in yo: 84/100,000 men 79/100,000 women 1 Adverse effects due to their multiple co-morbidities and low physiological reserves (GERD=gastroesophageal reflux disease) 1 Goldacre Best Pract Res Clin Gastroenterol (2009), 23(6):
3 GI symptoms and their impact on quality of life (QoL) Physical functioning eating, walking, bending (e.g. dyspepsia associated with reduction in lower limb mobility) 1 Social functioning relationships, embarrassing symptoms Body pain abdominal pain/discomfort, chest pain Mental health anxiety, frustration, depression Lack of vitality, sleeping problems
4 Gender differences GI symptoms and outcomes Men and women with GI problems may differ in their pattern of symptoms and pain perception Heartburn more frequent in men (49% vs 40%) 1 Heartburn associated with poor physical health in men Among dyspeptics, women (PCS=46.4; MCS=44.7) had poorer physical and mental well-being than men (PCS=47.9, MCS=47.5) - p < Westbrook et al Qual Life Res 2002, 11:
5 Frailty State where there is increased vulnerability to stressors Increasing levels of frailty associated with disability and mortality Markers of frailty include low activity, declines in strength, endurance, lean body mass Many of these may be associated with GI problems
6 Aims 1. To determine the prevalence and frequency of indigestion/heartburn in old adults. 2. To determine if there is an association between indigestion/heartburn and frailty, and if there is any gender differences in this association.
7 METHODS
8 Study participants Limit to age years and urban residents 1085 men who responded to HIMS 3 survey (2008) 1916 women from ALSWH old cohort Survey 5 (2008)
9 Exposure variable: indigestion/heartburn Question: Have you had indigestion/heartburn in the LAST 12 MONTHS? Choice of responses: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often
10 Elements of the FRAIL scale 1,2 Fatigue - feel worn out, feel tired, have a lot of energy Resistance - ability to climb a flight of stairs Ambulation - ability to walk 100m Illness > 5 Loss of weight >5% 1. Hyde et al Endocrinol Metab 2010;95: Lopez et al J Am Geriatr Soc 2012; 60:171-3
11 FRAIL scale 1,2 Accumulation of deficits Scored 0 (not frail) to 5 (most frail) 0-2: not frail; 3-5 frail 1. Hyde et al Endocrinol Metab 2010;95: Lopez et al J Am Geriatr Soc 2012; 60:171-3

18 DISCUSSION
19 Indigestion/heartburn and frailty 29% of old adults reported sometimes/often had indigestion/heartburn in the last 12 months Associated with frailty in both men and women More specifically associated with fatigue, resistance, ambulation and illness > 5 Not associated with loss of weight > %5
20 Indigestion/heartburn and frailty Resistance, ambulation possibly indicative of muscle weakness and/or low physiological reserves Fatigue may be due to poor sleep Patients with indigestion/heartburn are more likely to have multiple co-morbidities
21 Conclusion In addition to common investigations for indigestion/heartburn in older adults, healthcare professionals should consider assessing for frailty in patients who present with these symptoms.
