A study of the well elderly living at home has demonstrated that the ranges for serum thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) uptake and free-thyroxine index (FTI) are much narrower than those for the sick elderly in-patient. The prevalence of thyroid disease appears similar in both types of elderly population.
一项针对居家健康老年人的研究表明，血清甲状腺素（T4）、三碘甲状腺原氨酸（T3）摄取率和游离甲状腺素指数（FTI）的范围比患病老年住院患者的范围窄得多。在这两类老年人群中，甲状腺疾病的患病率似乎相似。
