We have now obtained lifetime weight histories from 38 of the hyperparathyroid women and 30 of the controls from our original study. The controls were similar in all respects to the larger group described in the original study. The body weight of the women who developed primary hyperparathyroidism was significantly higher than that of their eucalcemic peers at ages 40 and 60 years (P < 0.001 for both time points) but not at age 20 years (P ...References1.
