Actually, lots of people of all ages experience constipation at some time. Babies, children and adults of all ages can have occasional constipation. 66% of women and 51% of men in a recent survey conducted by the makers of Senokot® and Colace® products report they have occasional constipation. Elderly people do have a greater tendency to have constipation problems, sometimes related to poor food choices and inactivity. Older people tend to have more medical conditions and also take more medications, both of which can contribute to constipation.
