The clinical signs of hyperthyroidism in the elderly are often atypical and have an insidious onset. The hyperkinetic form and the exophthalmic syndrome are rare. Apathetic thyreotoxicosis occurs, with few exceptions, in the elderly. Part of the clinical signs of hyperthyroidism may be erroneously attributed to the normal aging process. Most authors consider radioiodine as the treatment of choice in elderly hyperthyroid patient.
老年人甲状腺功能亢进的临床症状往往不典型，起病隐匿。甲亢的高代谢型和突眼综合征较为少见。淡漠型甲状腺毒症除个别情况外多见于老年人。甲状腺功能亢进的部分临床症状可能被错误地归因于正常的衰老过程。大多数作者认为放射性碘是老年甲亢患者的首选治疗方法。
