Thyroid Disease in Ageing Populations
Thyroid disease is one of the common diseases in the elderly. Population-based and clinical epidemiological studies have shown that the prevalence and risks of thyroid diseases in the elderly are different from general adults.
This collection will further the understanding of the prevalence and risk factors of thyroid diseases in the elderly, including thyroid dysfunction, nodular thyroid disease, and especially thyroid cancer. It will also explore the relationship between thyroid diseases, especially subclinical hypothyroidism, and cardiovascular diseases. In doing so, this collection will help further improve the quality of management of thyroid diseases in the elderly.
"This special collection, the first for 2024, will delve into the intricate mechanisms governing thyroid health. It will illuminate pathways that will lead to enhanced diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately, improved patient outcomes.”- Editor-in-Chief, Professor Faisal Ahmed.
