Thyroid Problems, Alzheimer’s, and Cognitive Decline
A significant body of science now links poor thyroid function and cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s risk (doubling the risk for women). The information is proving interesting, and not what many would expect. In fact, taking thyroid hormone to help offset aging issues may make cognitive decline worse.
The data shows that individuals with a baseline higher TSH at age 65 had lower scores on mental performance, even though they did not at that time have cognitive impairment. Interestingly, high normal levels of T4 signified even worse cognitive scores and a stronger likelihood of cognitive decline as time goes by. The researchers did not understand why this was the case but correctly warned that taking thyroid medication, as is done in many anti-aging clinics, is likely to make cognitive decline worse.

Why Students Leave College
Attrition, meaning shrinking, is a commonly used term in college. Student attrition typically refers to the number of students who do not complete their program of studies. These “dropouts” are viewed as failures by the schools and reduce the “graduation rate” typically measured by everyone from the schools themselves, to the accrediting agencies to the national publications (e.g., U.S. News & World Report).
The dropout rate at American universities is about 50% for traditional students and 60% for online learners. (National Dialog on Student Retention, 2008)
