Notes              : Thyroid dysfunction is common among the entire
                     adult population and even more prevalent in the
                     elderly.  In fact, either overt or subclinical
                     hypothyroidism is present in 15% of those over
                     the age of 60.  Clinical recognition of
                     hypothyroidism in the elderly can be difficult
                     because many of the signs and symptoms are
                     similar to changes that occur with normal aging. 
                     Hyperthyroidism in older patients tends to
                     present with more frequent cardiovascular
                     manifestations and less obvious adrenergic
                     symptoms.  In this videotape, a leading expert in
                     the field of endocrinology will discuss the
                     various forms of thyroid dysfunction, causes,
                     treatments and surgical indications for each.
