Overt Hypothyroidism

Women with subclinical hypothyroidism during the first half of pregnancy are more likely to develop overt hypothyroidism 5 years after delivery than women with hypothyroxinemia, according to a study published in Thyroid.

Older adults with hypothyroidism are 26% more likely to die of any cause when compared with euthyroid older adults, although secondary analyses suggest hypothyroidism is not associated with cardiovascular mortality, according to findings published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
