Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction

Providers should use age- and sex-specific reference ranges to diagnose subclinical hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, especially for older adults, according to a study published in Thyroid.

Subclinical hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are not associated with cognitive function, cognitive decline or dementia, according to an analysis of data of more than 74,000 people from 23 cohorts published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
