Relationship between the Thyroid Function and Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly in Japan
Objective The reference ranges of serum thyroid hormone levels are determined by the values of normal subjects aged 15 or 20 to 60 years old in Japan and may differ from the values in elderly patients. In addition, the relationship between the thyroid function and cognitive function remains controve...

| description | Objective The reference ranges of serum thyroid hormone levels are determined by the values of normal subjects aged 15 or 20 to 60 years old in Japan and may differ from the values in elderly patients. In addition, the relationship between the thyroid function and cognitive function remains controversial. We assessed the thyroid function of elderly subjects ≥60 years old and its impact on the cognitive function in Japanese adults. Methods We compared the thyroid function by age group and gender and investigated the effects of cognitive impairment on the thyroid function. This study was a cross-sectional, multi-institutional joint study. Patients The serum concentrations of thyroid hormones in 1,136 patients were measured; however, those taking thyroid hormones, anti-thyroid drugs, and steroid hormones were excluded. Among them, 1,016 cases in which the cognitive function was evaluated were divided into five groups according to their free thyroxine (FT4) levels. Results Excluding overt thyroid dysfunction (5.8%), the average age of the 1,070 remaining patients was 77.5 years old. The rate of cognitive impairment was lowest at FT4 levels of 1.1-1.2 ng/dL and highest at FT4 levels |
