甲状腺功能随着年龄的增长而发生变化,可能导致甲状腺功能低下的过度诊断. 使用甲状腺刺激激素 (TSH) 的特定年龄参考范围可以防止老年人不必要的治疗.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
- 老年医学 老年医学
- 临床诊断 临床诊断 临床诊断
背景情况:
- 纵向的甲状腺功能研究产生不一致的结果.
- 衰老对甲状腺功能和亚临床甲状腺功能低下症诊断的影响尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 在老化队列中研究甲状腺功能参数的纵向变化.
- 评估标准与适龄基准范围对亚临床甲状腺功能低下症的诊断影响.
主要方法:
- 对204名老年人进行了跟踪 (2008-2012年和2016-2019年).
- 测量了血清甲状腺激素 (TSH),自由甲状腺素 (FT4),自由三甲状腺素 (FT3) 和甲状腺过氧化酶抗体 (TPOAb).
- 不包括甲状腺疾病或服用影响甲状腺的药物的人.
主要成果:
- 血清TSH增加,而FT3和TPOAb下降;FT4保持稳定.
- 在随访期间,正常TSH的上限增加.
- 标准范围导致亚临床甲状腺功能障碍患病率上升 (3.5%至9.0%),而特定年龄范围保持在2.0%.
结论:
- 甲状腺功能表现出与年龄相关的变化.
- 标准TSH参考范围可能会在老年人中过度诊断亚临床甲状腺功能低下症.
- 适合年龄的TSH范围可以减少不必要的诊断和治疗.

Functions of Thyroid Hormones
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...
Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
