Thyroid disorders are frequent in elderly population and difficult to recognize because of their atypical presentation, and the absence of classic signs and symptoms. Nonspecific symptoms, even in the absence of thyroid dysfunction, are common in this age group, including fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, failure to rehabilitate, and difficult to concentrate. Symptoms of aging can be confused easily with hypothyroidism. The interpretation of thyroid function tests is also cumbersome in aged individuals because of the difficulty in differentiating physiologic age-associated changes from alterations secondary to acute or chronic non-thyroidal illness. In the present study, a total 100 subjects were included. Subjects were divided into two groups: Group I - Control (n=50) and Group II - Case (n=50). Fifty apparently healthy young adults were taken as control (Group I) and 50 apparently healthy elderly subjects were included in case (Group II). Group I was subdivided into two groups- Group IA: young male (n=25) and Group IB: young female (n=25). Group II was also subdivided into two groups - Group IIA: elderly male (n=25) and Group IIB: elderly female (n=25). All the subjects were selected from the local community of Mymensingh Sadar, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh and Community Based Medical College, Bangladesh, Mymensingh. In the present study, the difference of mean serum T3 concentration between Group I (control) and Group II (elderly subjects) was not found to be significant (p>0.05). Significant difference in serum TSH concentration between Group IA and Group IIA was to be found (p<0.001). The difference of mean serum T4 concentration between Group IB and Group IIB was not found significant (p>0.05). Significant difference in mean serum TSH concentration between Group IB and Group IIB was to be found (p<0.001).
