How are TSH Schilddrüse and Langlebigkeit related?

The relationship between TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and longevity is complex and not clearly established. TSH regulates thyroid function, which influences metabolism, body temperature, and many other processes. Some studies suggest a link between slightly elevated TSH levels and extended lifespan, possibly due to reduced metabolic rate. However, other research indicates that both hyper- and hypothyroidism can be associated with increased mortality. The evidence is conflicting and highly dependent on age, sex, and individual factors. MyBody-X tests measure TSH as a biomarker for thyroid function, but they are not validated for longevity predictions. An abnormal TSH value should always be evaluated by a physician. Caution: an 'optimal' TSH range for longevity is not scientifically defined.
