High Frequency of and Factors Associated with Thyroid Hormone Over-Replacement and Under-Replacement in Men and Women Aged 65 and Over
Open accessAbstract
CONTEXT: Thyroid hormone use is common in older populations, but the frequency of over- or under-replacement is debated. OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe the frequency of and factors associated with thyroid hormone over- or under-replacement in a population of older men and women. DESIGN: Participants were 3678 U.S. community dwelling individuals aged 65 yr or older enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Study who had thyroid function tests in 1989-1990. Thyroid hormone users (n = 339) were identified and classified into low TSH (<0.45 mU/liter), euthyroid (0.45-4.5 mU/liter), and high TSH (>4.5 mU/liter). RESULTS: Of the 339 thyroid hormone users, 41% had a low TSH, 16% had a high TSH, and 43% were in the euthyroid range. In multivariable analyses, lower weight (P < 0.001) was independently associated with low TSH status. For every 10 kg lower weight, the likelihood of having low TSH increased by 65% [odd ratio (OR) 1.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.31-2.07]. Those with renal insufficiency were less likely to have low TSH levels (P = 0.02). The presence of diabetes was independently associated with having low (OR 3.35; 95% CI 1.46-7.65) and high TSH levels (OR 2.66; 95% CI 1.14-6.21). CONCLUSIONS: There is a very high prevalence of thyroid function testing abnormalities in older people taking thyroid hormone preparations, particularly in those of low weight or with diabetes. Because of potential adverse cardiovascular and skeletal effects from over-replacement, older people represent a key population for increased TSH monitoring on therapy.

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.
