Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: A relation between low thyroid activity and prolonged life span in humans has been observed. Several studies have demonstrated hereditary and genetic influences on thyroid function. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to test whether low thyroid activity associated with extreme longevity constitutes a heritable phenotype, which could contribute to the familial longevity observed in the Leiden...
