Abstract Syncope in the elderly is characterized by high morbidity, high incidence of injury and disability, and poor prognosis. The elderly population is often accompanied with other systemic diseases that complicate the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of syncope (syncope usually presents as a manifestation of the onset or deterioration
of a disease). This paper mainly investigates the etiology of different types of syncope (cardiogenic syncope, reflex syncope and nervous system syncope) in elderly population so as to provide
references for the risk evaluation, diagnosis and treatment strategy selection of syncope.
