Subclinical hypothyr: She has subclinical hypothyroidism. Tsh is technically "normal", but not appropriate for someone her age. Many doctors would begin low dose brand name T4 replacement; others would wait until lab worsens.

Normal: If the TSH rises above 5, consider hypothyroidism ( weakening of the thyroid gland) & may require thyroxine supplementation. Discuss with her primary physician.
