Objective Investigate the differences in cardiopulmonary (CP) capacity and Quality of Life (QOL) between healthy elderly (≥ 65 years) with different TSH levels (< 1.0 and ≥ 1.0 μIU/mL) both within the normal range.

Materials and methods Initially, a cross-sectional study was performed to compare CP capacity at peak exercise and […]
