Life Expectancy Shortened By Subclinical Hyperthyroidism
Researchers in Birmingham, UK have determined that a one-time measurement of low serum thyrotropin (TSH) in persons 60 years of age or older is associated with increased mortality from all causes and, particularly, due to cardiovascular disease.

Long Term Effects of Thyrotoxicosis
Thyrotoxicosis (hyperthyroidism, Graves' Disease) has been considered a benign disease affecting only the thyroid gland and in some cases, the eyes. However, recent studies have shown that it may affect more body systems than originally thought.

Women Over 65 + Low TSH = Increased Risk of Broken Bones
In a long term study published in the <i>Annals of Internal Medicine</i> researchers concluded that for women 65 and over a TSH (a test measuring the level of thyroid stimulating hormone) of 0.1mlU/L or less increases the risk of fracture two to three times that of women with normal levels.
