Skeletal muscle index (SMI) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT)\/subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) ratio were calculated based on a single CT image at the level of the L3 vertebra. Established sex-specific SMI thresholds were used to define sarcopenia. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the electronic health record. When available, postoperative CT images were analyzed to assess for changes in body composition pre- and post-parathyroidectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The cohort comprised 53 PHPT patients (38 females, 15 males, mean age 61.4 years), of whom 24 (45%) reported weakness, 43 (81%) reported fatigue, and 31 (58%) met CT-based criteria for sarcopenia. Lower SMI was significantly associated with preoperative weakness in females but not males. For both weakness and fatigue, VAT\/SAT ratios were higher in symptomatic females and lower in symptomatic males than their asymptomatic counterparts, though these differences were not statistically significant. In patients with postoperative CTs (n = 23), no significant changes in CT metrics were observed after parathyroidectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In females but not males with PHPT, subjective preoperative weakness was significantly associated with lower SMI.
