We showed that the total number of gastrostomies remained almost stable after 2016 despite population aging. We considered that the avoidance of gastrostomy in frail or disabled older adults might explain the decrease, particularly for those aged over 80 years. Our findings would regain attention to appropriate decision-making for gastrostomy. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2022; 22: 648-652.
