Baseline physiological changes associated with aging, alongside higher disease prevalence, contribute to the elevated surgical mortality rates observed in elderly persons.
Understanding physiological changes associated with aging is vital for surgeons to minimize morbidity and mortality in the elderly surgical population.

4]5 Why do elderly persons face such high surgical mortality rates?In addition to a higher incidence and prevalence of disease, elderly persons experience baseline physiological changes associated with senescence. 6It is vital for the modern surgeon to be aware of the physiological changes associated with aging to minimize morbidity and mortality in the aging surgical population.
