Relationship between age and segmental colonic transit time in constipated patients. By comparison with young adult patients (< 30 years), constipated patients between 45 years and 60 years have delayed transit in the left part of the colon (*P < 0.05). In contrast, patients aged from 30 years to 45 years and patients aged from 45 years and 60 years have shorter transit in the rectosigmoid area than younger patients (*P < 0.05).
