Summary
This study looked at whether surgery helps people over 65 with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (high calcium levels) compared to just monitoring them. The main goal was to see if surgery improves bone density and lowers fracture risk. 102 participants were randomly assigned to surgery or follow-up, and bone density was measured at the hip and spine.
