senescence is associated with several changes in different organs including the endocrine system so much so that thyroid disorers in elderly are about 2 fods in the young with a 3-4% of elderly people suffer from hypo or hyper throdism. The aim of this stdy was to assess the frequency of thyroid disorders in people older than 60 in rehabilitation centers at Tehran. in this cross - sectional study, 340 over 60 year of age in 9 rehabilitation centers in Tehran were evaluated. Participants had no history of chronic diseases or consumption of drugs affecting the thyroid. All participants underwent a thorugh examination with emphasis on signs of thyroid dysfunction. Serum specimens were obtained for thyroid function tests (T3 - T4 - TSH). Of all the participants, 15 people were excluded.results showed 70.6 percent female and 29.4 percent as female. The mean age was 76.4+ 11 tears (60-105 years). The mean values of serum TSH, T3, and T4 were 2.17 Iu/ml, 108 ng/dl and 9.8 Mg/dl, respectively Serum TSH in 2.2 percent of participants was over 10 IU Iml and in 1.5 percent was between 5-10 IU/ml. Utilizing the IRMA method, 3.7 percent of participants had TSH>5 Iu/ml. Of the participants, 4.4 percent and 9.8 percent had TSH under 0.1 Iu/ml and between 0.1 and 0.3 lu/ml, respectively.according to the findings of this study we suggest SCREENING tests for all persons abaove60 years -despite no apparent symptoms.
