PurposeTo investigate the relationship between parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and body weight, body mass index (BMI), lipid profiles, and fat distribution in subjects with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and controls.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study in 192 patients with PHPT and 202 controls. Serum concentrations of calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), PTH, lipids profiles, and other hormones were quantified. Bone mineral density was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Fat distribution evaluation utilizing quantitative computed tomography was conducted in another 66 patients with PHPT and 155 controls.ResultsPHPT patients were older (P< 0.001) and had less body weight (P< 0.001), lower BMI (P= 0.019), lower serum concentrations of 25(OH)D (P< 0.001), total cholesterol (P= 0.036), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P= 0.036), and higher circulating concentration of free fatty acid (FFA) (P= 0.047) as compared with controls. After adjusting multiple confounders, PTH was positively correlated with weight (r= 0.311,P< 0.001), BMI (r= 0.268,P< 0.01), and visceral adipose tissue area (VAA) (r= 0.191,P< 0.05) in the first tertile of PTH. However, these associations were not observed in the second tertile. While in the third tertile, PTH was negatively correlated with weight (r= –0.200,P< 0.05), BMI (r= –0.223,P< 0.05) and marginally with VAA (r= –0.306,P= 0.065), it showed positive association with FFA (r= 0.230,P< 0.05).ConclusionsThe inverted U-shape relationship between PTH and body weight, BMI, VAA found in this study is helpful to explain the conflicting results among these parameters, and extend our understanding of the metabolic effects of PTH.
