Aging can affect thyroid function and may lead to slightly elevated TSH levels even in healthy individuals. As we age, the thyroid gland may produce less T3 and T4, leading to symptoms of hypothyroidism. However, subtle changes in thyroid hormone levels might be dismissed as normal aging signs, such as fatigue, weight gain, or memory issues. Regular thyroid function tests (TFTs) in older adults can help detect thyroid disorders early, allowing for timely intervention. Doctors often adjust reference ranges for older adults to account for natural changes in thyroid hormone levels due to aging.
