New findings contradict previous research suggesting that poor thyroid function might be tied to dementia.
Hypothyroidism, a condition that causes low or no thyroid hormone production, is not linked to mild dementia or impaired brain function, a new study suggests.
Although more research is needed, the scientists said their findings add to mounting evidence that the thyroid gland disorder is not tied to the memory and thinking problems known as "mild cognitive impairment."
Interesting study findings... See the comments re: need to validate the research in other settings.
