Normal Age-Related Changes in Thyroid Hormone Economy

Mooradian, Arshag D.·1995·Clinics in Geriatric Medicine

Abstract

Aging is associated with significant changes in the anatomy of the thyroid gland and in the physiology of hypothalamic-pituitary-hormone thyroid axis. In addition, tissue responsiveness to thyroid hormone may also be altered with age. However, age alone should not influence the interpretation of commonly obtained thyroid function tests. The reduced thyroid hormone clearance with age explains the reduced daily replacement doses of thryoxine in hypothyroid elderly subjects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
