Methods: Eight hundred elderly patients with hypertension were randomly selected as the case group from 4 hospitals in Shenyang from January 2010 to December 2013 , and 800 health elderly from the same hospitals as the control group. The levels of thyroid hormones were detected. Results:There were statistically significant differences in the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (t=55. 35, P<0. 01), free triiodothyronine (tFT3 = -13. 80, P<0. 01), free thyroxin (tFT4 =-1. 99, P=0. 048), triiodothyronine(tT3 = -5. 33, P<0. 01), and thyroxine (tT4 = -5. 30, P<0. 01)between the case group and the control group. Conclusion: The levels of thyroid hormones in elderly patients with hypertension were different from the healthy people. This is the oretical ba-sis for the treatment of elderly hypertensive.
