- Abstract
The article discusses the results of the health, aging and body composition study on the link between thyroid hormone use and the diagnosis of dementia. Topics mentioned include the distribution of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) by thyroid hormone use and dementia status, the risk of isolated TSH elevation for iatrogenic thyrotoxicosis resulting to accelerating cognitive decline, and the association of thyroid hormone supplementation with increased risk of both over and under-treatment.
