Abstract
Recent studies have introduced the weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) as a viable obesity indicator that may better reflect centripetal obesity and its associated risks. In examining the connection between WWI and prostate-specific antigen (PSA), this study leveraged data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2010, including 5732 participants. Our initial analysis indicated a significant positive association between WWI and PSA levels. However, subsequent models that adjusted for covariates such as age, race, and a range of metabolic and cardiovascular health-related factors revealed that the strength and significance of this relationship were attenuated. Model 1 showed a highly significant correlation (p < 0.0001). Yet, in Model 2, which accounted for age and race, the association softened (p = 0.0520). Moreover, when a full spectrum of health covariates was included in Model 3, the association was no longer significant (p = 0.9775). These findings suggest that while an unadjusted correlation exists, its potential use as a diagnostic predictor is limited without considering the broader health context. Therefore, it is crucial to review such data with multiple considerations in mind, and extensive attention should be paid to the evaluation of covariates.

Abstract
In recent decades, the escalating prevalence of metabolic disorders, notably obesity and being overweight, has emerged as a pressing concern in public health. Projections for the future indicate a continual upward trajectory in obesity rates, primarily attributable to unhealthy dietary patterns and sedentary lifestyles. The ramifications of obesity extend beyond its visible manifestations, intricately weaving a web of hormonal dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. This nexus of factors holds particular significance in the context of carcinogenesis, notably in the case of prostate cancer (PCa), which is a pervasive malignancy and a leading cause of mortality among men. A compelling hypothesis arises from the perspective of transgenerational inheritance, wherein genetic and epigenetic imprints associated with obesity may wield influence over the development of PCa. This review proposes a comprehensive exploration of the nuanced mechanisms through which obesity disrupts prostate homeostasis and serves as a catalyst for PCa initiation. Additionally, it delves into the intriguing interplay between the transgenerational transmission of both obesity-related traits and the predisposition to PCa. Drawing insights from a spectrum of sources, ranging from in vitro and animal model research to human studies, this review endeavors to discuss the intricate connections between obesity and PCa. However, the landscape remains partially obscured as the current state of knowledge unveils only fragments of the complex mechanisms linking these phenomena. As research advances, unraveling the associated factors and underlying mechanisms promises to unveil novel avenues for understanding and potentially mitigating the nexus between obesity and the development of PCa.

Int Urol Nephrol 2023; 55:2685-2693. [PMID: 37523077 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-023-03692-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to improve the diagnostic accuracy of gray zone prostate cancer evaluation by combining the prostate imaging report and data system version 2.1 (PI-RADS V2.1) score with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA). METHODS We analyzed data from 212 men suspected of having prostate cancer and compared PSA-related indicators and PI-RADS V2.1 scores between 96 patients with prostate cancer and 116 without prostate cancer. By contrasting PI-RADS V2.1 scores with serum PSA-related markers, the diagnostic precision in the detection of grey zone prostate cancer was assessed. RESULTS The median PI-RADS V2.1 scores and serum tPSA levels of patients with prostate cancer were significantly higher (P < 0.05). The PI-RADS V2.1 score correlated positively with serum tPSA, PSA density (PSAD), and prostate health index (PHI) levels (P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with fPSA/tPSA concentrations (P < 0.05). Logistic regression identified risk factors including family history, PI-RADS V2.1 score, tPSA, PSAD, and PHI, with prostate volume and fPSA/tPSA as protective factors (P < 0.05). Combining serum PSA-related indicators with the PI-RADS V2.1 score improved diagnostic accuracy for gray zone prostate cancer (AUC 0.986, specificity 99.14%, sensitivity 92.71%). CONCLUSION The presence of a family history, a high PI-RADS V2.1 score, and elevated serum PSA-related markers contribute to high prostate cancer risk and development. The combined use of these indicators offers superior predictive value in detecting prostate cancer compared to a single indicator.

Impact of obesity on perioperative, functional and oncological outcomes after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy in a high-volume center. World J Urol 2022; 40:1419-1425. [PMID: 35348869 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-022-03989-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare surgical, oncological and functional outcomes between obese vs. normal-weight prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). MATERIALS AND METHODS We assessed 4555 consecutive RARP patients from a high-volume center 2008-2018. Analyses were restricted to normal-weight vs. obese patients (≥ 30 kg/m2). Multivariable cox regression analyses (MVA) assessed the effect of obesity on biochemical recurrence (BCR), metastatic progression (MP), erectile function and urinary continence recovery. Analyses were repeated after propensity score matching. RESULTS Before matching, higher rates of pathological Gleason Grade group ≥ 4 (14 vs. 18%; p = 0.004) and pT3 stage (33 vs. 35%; p = 0.016) were observed in obese patients, with similar observations for surgery time, blood loss and 30-day wound- and surgical complication rates. For normal-weight vs. obese patients, BCR- and MP-free rates were 86 vs. 85% (p = 0.97) and 97.5 vs.97.8% (p = 0.8) at 48 months. Similarly, rates of erectile function at 36 months and urinary continence at 12 months were 56 vs. 49% (p = 0.012) and 88 vs. 85% (p = 0.003), respectively. Before and after propensity score matching, obesity had no effect on BCR or MP, but a negative effect on erectile function (matched HR 0.87, 95%CI 0.76-0.99; p = 0.029) and urinary continence recovery (matched HR 0.91, 95%CI 0.84-0.98; p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS Obesity did not represent a risk factor of BCR or MP after RARP despite higher rates of adverse pathological features. However, obesity was associated with higher risk of perioperative morbidity and impaired functional outcomes. Such information is integral for patient counselling. Thus, weight loss before RARP should be encouraged.
