Abstract:
In 2020, the French Endocrine Society released a consensus statement on the management of thyroid dysfunction in the elderly. This consensus introduced the physiological evolution of thyroid aging, determined specific reference range of thyroid stimulating hormone in the elderly and provided a standard guidance for diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction. However, some of these recommendations are still controversial, especially the reference range of thyroid stimulating hormone and interventions for subclinical hypothyroidism in the elderly. Thus, further studies for the elderly in China are reguired in order to promote the standardized management of thyroid dysfunction.
