Upper limit of the normal range for thyrotropin-stimulating hormone is higher with increasing age

Oscar MP JolobeManchester Medical Society, Manchester, United KingdomThe assertion that aging is associated with a decreasing concentration of thyrotropin-stimulating hormone (TSH) in healthy elderly humans1 appears to be at odds with the observation that "TSH distribution shifts towards hi...
