<b>Accelerated bone loss in post‐menopausal women with mild primary hyperparathyroidism</b>

Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with an increased rate of loss of total body bone mineral density in post-menopausal women. Prolonged disease duration is therefore likely to be associated with an increasing risk of osteopenia, such that skeletal surveillance and interventions designed to reduce bone loss should be considered.
