PTH was measured in 65% of hypercalcemic patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001). At median 2-year follow-up, bone density was assessed in 275 (20%) patients with either variant of PHPT (P\u2005=\u2005.003). Of women aged 50 years or older with classic PHPT, 95 (19%) underwent BMD assessment.
