Core Tip	The morphology and physiology of the liver changes with aging and an understanding of those changes is important for the management of liver diseases. We first summarized the various changes in the liver with aging. We then reviewed the reported characteristics of liver diseases found in the elderly. This kind of information could be increasingly important in the near future, because the proportion of the world's population over 60 years old is increasing, especially in developed countries.
