The functional statue of the thyroid in old age and its role in the genesis of some manifestations of senescence have been subjects of speculation tor many years. Numerous studies have been done but few, if any, conclusions based on sound evidence have been reached. The ovary has a life span shorter than that of the total organism, and concomitant with a decline in ovarian function undesirable physical and emotional disturbances may occur. Some features of human senescence are similar to those of the hypothyroid states for example, one sees in both diminished motor activity, impaired muscle strength, dryness or the skin, diminished cold tolerance, and falling of the hair.
