- Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT):
- There are approximately 100,000 new cases per year reported in the United States
- Since the advent of routine laboratory testing:
- The prevalence of the disease has increased from:
- 0.1% to 0.4%:
- One to seven cases per 1000 adults
- 0.1% to 0.4%:
- The prevalence of the disease has increased from:
- In a study by Yeh et al:
- The incidence of PHPT fluctuated between:
- 36.3 and 120.2 cases per 100,000 women-years
- 13.4 and 35.6 cases per 100,000 men-years
- The incidence of PHPT fluctuated between:
- PHPT may present at any age:
- With the vast majority of cases occur in patients:
- Older than 45 years of age
- The mean age at diagnosis has remained between:
- 52 and 56 years
- With the vast majority of cases occur in patients:
- Women have consistently made up the preponderance of cases:
- With a female-to-male ratio of:
- 3:1 to 4:1
- Based on a population based study from Rochester Minnesota:
- The higher incidence of this could be secondary (hypothetically) to:
- Estrogen deficiency after menopause:
- That reveals underlying HPT
- Estrogen deficiency after menopause:
- The higher incidence of this could be secondary (hypothetically) to:
- With a female-to-male ratio of:
