Abstract

Thyroid disorders are common in older people and cause significant morbidity. There may be fewer symptoms at presentation and increased susceptibility to adverse events, making diagnosis and management more challenging. The approach to management of thyroid disorders in older people differs from that for younger individuals. Factors that need to be considered include frailty, concurrent illness, polypharmacy, drug–drug interactions, and target organ sensitivity to treatment. This review discusses the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and management of thyroid disorders and the effects of medications on thyroid function in older people.

期刊介绍： The purpose of this document is to describe the structure, function and operations of the Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, the official journal of the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia (SHPA). It is owned, published by and copyrighted to SHPA. However, the Journal is to some extent unique within SHPA in that it ‘…has complete editorial freedom in terms of content and is not under the direction of the Society or its Council in such matters…’. This statement, originally based on a Role Statement for the Editor-in-Chief 1993, is also based on the definition of ‘editorial independence’ from the World Association of Medical Editors and adopted by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
