title: [Correlation analysis of prostate volume with body mass index, blood pressure, blood lipid and glucose in 30-50 year-old men].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the correlation between prostate volume and body mass index, blood pressure, blood lipid and glucose in 30-50 year-old males.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prostate volume (PV), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure(BP), blood glucose (BG), blood cholesterol (CHOL), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured in 1 002 30-50 year-old males. The correlation of PV with BMI, BP, BG, CHOL, TG, LDL, and HDL were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 statistical software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The subjects' average age was (43.66 ± 0.17) years, and their mean prostate volume (14.28±0.02) mL. The statistical analyses regarding the age (P=0.000, r=0.62), BMI (P=0.013,r=0.57), BG (P=0.032, r=0.52), CHOL (P=0.040,r=0.51), LDL (P=0.032, r=-0.50), HDL (P=0.017,r=-0.48) were significantly associated with PV. Adjusted for age factors, PV still had a strong correlation with BMI and LDL, P values were 0.029, 0.001, r values were 0.53, -0.49.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the 30-50 year-old males, BMI and dyslipidemia could be risk factors in the way of the enlargement of prostate volume. Weight control and therapy of blood lipid abnormalities may delay the increase of prostate volume.
