Modifiable Risk Factors for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: New Approaches to Old Problems

Abstract: Obesity, diabetes, physical activity and alcohol intake may substantially influence the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms in older men. Further analyses of these and other potential modifiable risk factors may identify novel interventions for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these highly prevalent conditions.

“…Scientific interest in anthropometric measurements and prostate hyperplasia has mainly been focused on height, weight and measures of weight adjusted for height, such as body mass index (BMI) with less interest in waist circumference and its ratio to hips circumference. Although a cluster of published epidemiological evidence demonstrates that obesity may increase the risks of BPH and LUTS, [3][4][5] it still lacks the quantitative evidence to certify this association. To provide a comprehensive summary of the relation between obesity and BPH risk, we use the BMI as the measure of obesity to summarize the evidence from the epidemiological literature on this issue.…”
