Thyroid function and age-related decline in kidney function in older Chinese adults: A cross-sectional study

Thyroid function may be a factor affecting kidney function in the general population. Kidney and thyroid function vary with age; therefore, the association between thyroid function and decreased kidney function in older adults may be different from that in younger adults and remains controversial. This study aimed to estimate the association between normal-range thyroid function and age-related decline in kidney function in older Chinese adults.
