Objective  To evaluate the correlation between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and metabolic syndrome (MS).
Methods  Total 666 elderly male patients admitted to West China Hospital for routine physical examination in May, 2010 were included in this study. The related laboratory tests of BPH and MS were taken. The correlation among BPH, lower urinary tract Symptoms (LUTS), prostate volume (PV), MS and its component diseases were analyzed.
Results  Hypertension was an important risk factor for BPH (OR=1.309, 95%CI 1.033 to 1.661), low HDL-C hyperlipidemia was a risk factor for IPSS scored over 7 points (OR=1.573, 95%CI 0.330 to 0.997), and the score of PV was positively correlated to obesity, hypertension, low HDL-C hyperlipidemia and MS (all P lt;0.05).
Conclusion  For the patient with BPH, MS and its component diseases mainly exert their effects on PV changes rather than LUTS.
