Yes, hyperparathyroidism is related to osteoporosis. In hyperparathyroidism, elevated levels of parathyroid hormone lead to increased bone resorption, which decreases bone density and can contribute to the development of osteoporosis. This condition results in a higher risk of fractures and weakened bones, particularly in postmenopausal women and older adults. Managing hyperparathyroidism can help mitigate its effects on bone health.
