Some disorders, such as achalasia, are diagnosed by esophageal manometry studies, which assess lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and relaxation, peristalsis in the esophageal body, and contraction wave characteristics. This research aimed to evaluate esophageal motility dysfunction in symptomatic patients and its relation to age.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Conventional esophageal manometry was performed on 385 symptomatic patients who were divided into two groups; Group A (age\u2009&lt;\u200965\u2009years old) and Group B (age\u2009\u2265\u200965\u2009years). The geriatric assessment for Group B included cognitive, functional, and clinical frailty scales (CFS).
