Revisiting the TSH range in older adults: associations between subclinical hypothyroidism and geriatric conditions
Age-related TSH elevation is common among older adults. Mild SCH was not linked to geriatric conditions, whereas moderate-to-severe SCH showed associations with cerebral microbleeds and sarcopenia. Given the limited number of participants in this category, these findings should be interpreted cautiously and require confirmation in longitudinal studies.
