I was reading this: https://www.rcpa.edu.au/getattachme...Investigation-of-common-thyroid-problems.aspx
And I read this:
"There is no evidence that treating an asymptomatic patient over the age of 65 years with TSH 5–10
mU/L produces clinical benefit."
This is referenced:

Hypothyroidism. N Engl J Med. 2017;377(14):e20. doi: 10.1056/NEJMc1709989. PubMed PMID: 28976862.
Im still on my early 30's but I find this interesting. As you age you can manage higher doses of TSH if you have no sides? what's the deal?
