We help you reduce your chances of liver diseases and cirrhosis

As seniors age, their risk of liver disease, particularly cirrhosis increases

While aging livers have reduced resilience the cumulative effects from prolonged exposure to risk factors like excessive alcohol consumption and viral hepatitis, alongside age-related structural changes in the liver, contribute to this risk. Older adults' higher incidence of chronic conditions and medication use can exacerbate liver issues. The liver's slower metabolic processes and a weakened immune response also play a role.

Our Healthcare Plan provides detection and preventive measures to keep your liver in the best health possible and avoid cirrhosis.

Explore the facts, the potential impact and the connection between liver deseases and aging

  • More than 100 million people in the U.S. have some form of liver disease. 4.5 million U.S. adults (1.8%) have been diagnosed with liver disease. But it is estimated that 80-100 million adults in the U.S. have fatty liver disease and many do not know they have it.
  • Left untreated, liver disease can lead to liver failure and liver cancer.
  • In 2020, 51,642 adults in the U.S. died from liver disease (15.7 per 100,000 population).
  • Chronic liver disease/cirrhosis was the 12th leading cause of death in the U.S in 2020.
  • Cirrhosis increases the risk for stroke. Stroke incidence was 2.17% (95% CI, 1.99%-2.36%) per year in patients with cirrhosis and 1.11% (95% CI, 1.10%-1.11%) per year in patients without cirrhosis.
  • Liver cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma, is a significant health concern, with over 42,000 new cases and 30,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2021.
  • It is a leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., claiming approximately 30,000 lives annually and showing a more than doubled death rate since 1980.
  • Incidence rates are higher among men and specific ethnic groups, notably Hispanic/Latino and Asian/Pacific Islander populations.
  • American Indians/Alaska Natives face disproportionately high liver cancer death rates.
  • Chronic viral hepatitis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are key contributors to liver cancer in the U.S., warranting attention and comprehensive preventive measures.

Liver disease, including cirrhosis, can affect individuals over the age of 60 for various reasons. Here are some key factors contributing to the impact of liver disease and cirrhosis on older adults:

  • Cumulative Effects: Liver damage often results from years of exposure to various risk factors, including excessive alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis infections, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). These risk factors may accumulate over time, leading to liver disease, and the longer a person lives, the more likely they are to experience the cumulative effects.
  • Age-Related Changes: As individuals age, the liver undergoes structural changes. Liver cells may become less efficient at repairing themselves and regenerating, making the liver more vulnerable to damage and slower to recover.
  • Chronic Health Conditions: Older adults often have a higher prevalence of chronic health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. These conditions can exacerbate liver disease and contribute to the development of cirrhosis.
  • Medication Use: Seniors often take multiple medications to manage chronic health issues. Some medications can have hepatotoxic (liver-damaging) effects, which can further stress the liver.
  • Slower Metabolism: The liver plays a key role in metabolizing drugs and toxins. With age, the liver's metabolic processes can slow down, affecting its ability to process substances efficiently.
  • Reduced Immune Response: The immune system's effectiveness tends to decline with age, making older adults more susceptible to infections such as hepatitis, which can lead to liver disease.
  • Alcohol Consumption: Some older individuals may have a history of chronic alcohol consumption, which can contribute to alcoholic liver disease and cirrhosis over time.
  • Less Resilience: Aging livers may have reduced resilience to stress and damage, making older individuals more vulnerable to liver-related health issues.
  • Limited Access to Healthcare: Older individuals may face challenges in accessing healthcare, which can result in delayed diagnosis and treatment of liver disease. Transportation, financial limitations, and other barriers can affect timely medical care.
