Abstract

There are the hormonal and metabolic disorders during the elderly of organism. The most important of them are the thyroid dysfunctions. Hypothyroidism is difficult to diagnose in old age, because it has many clinical «masks». But undiagnosed hypothyroidism leads to degenerative changes in cardiovascular system and central neural system, exceeding early elderly and human social disadaptation. That’s why preliminary diagnostic and adequate correction of hypothyroidism can prolong active life in elderly.
