Thyroid and Aging or the Aging Thyroid? An Evidence-Based Analysis of the Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thyroid hormone production, metabolism, and action change with aging. The reference ranges for serum thyrotropin and thyroid hormones are derived mainly from younger populations.

In this review, we discuss current evidence-based literature on thyroid function in the elderly and whether subclinical thyroid dysfunction in the elderly should be treated.
