Treatment with levothyroxine does not yield clear effects on cardiometabolic biomarkers in older adults with subclinical hypothyroidism, according to a study. However, individuals with baseline thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) ≥10 mIU/L show potentially favourable changes in lipids and lipoproteins.
