Core Tip	The global proportion of older subjects is steadily increasing. This is associated with an increased number of emergency surgical procedures performed in this age group. Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical diseases, with a lifetime risk of 8%. A growing incidence of acute appendicitis has been registered in the elderly population and in the oldest old (> 80 years). In this editorial, we highlight the characteristics of acute appendicitis in elderly patient and the influence of sarcopenia and frailty on the results of surgical treatment.
