The relationship between glucose homeostasis status and prostate size in aging Chinese males with benign prostatic hyperplasia

1

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is prevalent in aging men and significantly affects their quality of life due to lower urinary tract symptoms.
2

Diabetes and prediabetes are linked to increased prostate volume, which may exacerbate BPH symptoms and necessitate surgical intervention.
3

Aging is a critical factor in BPH development, with prostate size increasing more rapidly before age 70 compared to after.
4

The study analyzed 659 patients who underwent prostate surgery to explore the relationship between glucose homeostasis and prostate size.
5

Statistical methods were employed to assess the impact of glycemic status on prostate size, considering age and body mass index.
