Thyroid hormones and aging
Open accessAbstract
With an increase in age, marked changes in thyroid hormone production, metabolism, and action occur. This results in an increased prevalence of (subclinical) thyroid disease in the elderly. In general, subclinical thyroid disease is associated with an increased risk of overt thyroid dysfunction and with different negative clinical parameters. In the elderly, however, it is unclear whether these changes represent physiologic changes in thyroid hormone levels with advancing age or whether they represent true (subclinical) thyroid disease. This review describes the changes in thyroid hormone levels with aging and the mechanisms behind these changes, and also discusses whether subclinical thyroid disease should be treated in the elderly.

Several different variations of thyroid pathophysiology have been described in the elderly, including reduced lean body mass, reduced T4 absorption and outer ring deiodination, comorbidities, and drug use.
“Several different variations of thyroid pathophysiology have been described in the elderly (92, 93). Reduced lean body mass, reduced T4 absorption and outer ring deiodination as well as the presence of comorbidities and the use of drugs are among them (14, 42, 51).”

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.
