Distribution and management strategies of thyroid dysfunction among elderly residents based on health examinations

摘要:
目的 随着年龄增长,老年人甲状腺功能异常发生率升高,但不同促甲状腺激素(TSH)界值对健康结局的影响尚存争议。本研究基于2023年上海市松江区洞泾镇3 830名老年居民健康体检数据,探讨甲状腺功能异常分布及基层管理策略。 方法 以TSH 4.2、6.0、8.0、10.0 mIU/L为亚临床甲减(SCH)诊断界值,比较不同甲状腺功能状态下居民健康状况和认知能力,并分析SCH组与甲状腺功能正常对照组的临床及实验室指标差异。 结果 在所有TSH诊断界值下,SCH组红细胞分布宽度均高于对照组(P<0.05);当TSH≥6.0 mIU/L时,SCH组心脏增大发生率为45.6%(47人),高于对照组[29.8%(31人),χ2=5.518,P=0.019];当TSH≥8.0 mIU/L时,SCH组高血压患病率为52.7%(29人),高于对照组[30.9%(17人), χ2=5.380,P=0.020],糖尿病患病率为5.5%(3人),低于对照组[18.2%(10人), χ2=4.274,P=0.039];当TSH≥10.0 mIU/L时,SCH组与对照组在腰围、血脂水平及窦性心动过缓发生率方面差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。 结论 上海市松江区洞泾镇老年居民甲状腺健康状况优于全国平均水平。当TSH<10.0 mIU/L时,该人群总体健康和认知能力差异无统计学意义;老年甲减患者需定期监测,避免药物过量导致的医源性危害。 Abstract:Objective The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction increases with age, but the impact of different thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) thresholds on health outcomes remains controversial. This study investigates the distribution of thyroid dysfunction and explore primary care management strategies based on the health examination data of 3 830 elderly residents from Dongjing Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, in 2023. Methods Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) was defined using TSH cut-offs of 4.2, 6.0, 8.0, and 10.0 mIU/L. Health status and cognitive function were compared among residents with different thyroid function states, and clinical and laboratory indicators were analyzed between the SCH group and the euthyroid control group. Results At all TSH thresholds, the red cell distribution width (RDW) in the SCH group was significantly higher than in controls (P < 0.05). When TSH≥6.0 mIU/L, the prevalence of cardiac enlargement in the SCH group was 45.6% (47/103), higher than 29.8% (31/104) in control group (χ2=5.518, P=0.019). When TSH≥8.0 mIU/L, hypertension prevalence was 52.7% (29/55) in the SCH group versus 30.9% (17/55) in control group (χ2=5.380, P=0.020), while diabetes prevalence was 5.5% (3/55) versus 18.2% (10/55, χ2=4.274, P=0.039). When TSH≥10.0 mIU/L, significant differences were observed between SCH and control groups in waist circumference, lipid profiles, and the incidence of sinus bradycardia (P < 0.05). Conclusion Elderly residents in Dongjing Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, have better thyroid health than the national average. When TSH < 10.0 mIU/L, overall health status and cognitive function show no significant differences. Regular monitoring of elderly hypothyroid patients is recommended to prevent iatrogenic risks from overtreatment. -
