What Is Hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is a medical condition that affects roughly 5% of people in the United States. However, the condition is much more prevalent in females. It is a condition caused by an underactive thyroid, preventing the gland from producing enough hormones to meet the body’s needs. Hormone imbalance can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, and depression, which will worsen for patients over the age of 60.

What Are the Risks of Hypothyroidism?
The symptoms of hypothyroidism typically worsen in patients over 60. Other environmental and genetic factors can contribute to the severity of the symptoms. It can lead to high cholesterol, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as a heart attack or stroke. Additionally, untreated hypothyroidism may cause goiters, or an enlargement of the thyroid gland, which can lead to difficulty breathing or swallowing. Addressing the condition early is crucial for minimizing these risks and enhancing overall quality of life.
