Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obesity and metabolic status are both modifiable risk factors of lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH). However, the association between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and LUTS/BPH is largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the risk of LUTS/BPH among different metabolic syndrome-body mass index (MetS-BMI) phenotypes in a cohort of Chinese males. METHODS A total of 3321 males from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) without history of LUTS/BPH at baseline were included into the analyses. Participants were categorized into six mutually exclusive groups according to presence or absence of MetS combined with BMI status: metabolically healthy normal weight/overweight/obesity (MHN/MHOW/MHO) and metabolically unhealthy normal weight/overweight/obesity (MUN/MUOW/MUO). Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% CI of LUTS/BPH across MetS-BMI categories were estimated with multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 394 (11.86%) participants developed LUTS/BPH during the follow-up. After adjusting for age, educational level, smoking status, drinking status, and BMI change, the multivariable-adjusted OR (95% CI) for incident LUTS/BPH comparing MUO, MHO, MUOW, MHOW, and MUN with MHN were 1.99 (1.23-3.22), 2.04 (1.14-3.66), 1.61 (1.11-2.34), 1.45 (1.02-2.05), and 0.91 (0.54-1.56), respectively. CONCLUSIONS MHO and MHOW were risk populations of LUTS/BPH, suggesting that overweight and obesity can independently contribute to LUTS/BPH, even among metabolically healthy individuals. These findings emphasize metabolically healthy individuals may still benefit from maintaining normal body weight to prevent LUTS/BPH. Our findings also support that those recommendations for LUTS/BPH should highlight the importance of maintaining metabolic health across all BMI groups among Chinese males.

Metabolic syndrome is associated with prostate enlargement: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression on patients with lower urinary tract symptom factors. Ther Adv Endocrinol Metab 2021; 12:20420188211066210. [PMID: 34900218 PMCID: PMC8664322 DOI: 10.1177/20420188211066210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined by at least three of the following five criteria: blood pressure ⩾130/85 mmHg, fasting blood glucose ⩾5.6 mmol/l, triglycerides concentration ⩾1.7 mmol/l, waist circumference ⩾102 cm (for men), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration <1.03 mmol/l (for men). MetS has been associated with worse lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and higher International Prostate Symptom questionnaire scores. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov, and SCOPUS were critically appraised for all peer-reviewed manuscripts that suitably fulfilled our protocol's inclusion criteria established a priori. Meta-analytical and meta-regression calculations were performed in R using the Sidik-Jonkman and Hartung-Knapp random effects model and predefined covariates. RESULTS A total of 70 studies (n = 90,206) were included in qualitative synthesis. From these, 60 studies focused on MetS and LUTS: 44 reported positive correlations, 5 reported negative correlations, 11 reported no association, and 10 studies focused on MetS and total prostate volume (TPV). MetS positively correlated with moderate LUTS [odds ratio (OR) = 1.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.35-1.80], severe LUTS (OR = 2.35, 95% CI = 1.82-3.03), overactive bladder (OAB; OR = 3.2, 95% CI = 1.6-5.8), and nocturia severity (OR = 2.509, 95% CI = 1.571-4.007) at multivariate analysis. A total of 30 studies (n = 22,206) were included in meta-analysis; MetS was significantly associated with higher TPV (mean differences = 4.4450 ml, 95% CI = 2.0177-6.8723), but no significant predictive factors for effect sizes were discovered. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis demonstrates a significant association between the aggravating effects of MetS, which commonly coexists with obesity and benign prostate enlargement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We performed this meta-analysis to assess the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHOD We conducted extensive searches on the PubMed, Science and Cochrane Library to identify all articles. Outcomes including annual prostate growth rate, prostate volume (PV), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), IPSS sub-scores (voiding and storage), prostate- specific antigen (PSA), maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), post-void residual urine volume (PVR) and quality of life (QoL) were assessed. RESULTS 21 studies with 15,317 patients were included. Patients with MetS had higher annual prostate growth rate [weighted mean difference (WMD) = 0.79; p < .001], larger PV (WMD = 2.62; p < .001), lower Qmax (WMD = -0.48; p = .001) and more PVR (WMD = 8.28; p < .001). However, no significant differences were found between two groups in IPSS (WMD = 0.20; p = .37), IPSS-voiding (WMD = -0.05; p = .78), IPSS-storage (WMD = -0.22; p = .26), PSA (WMD = 0.04; p = .43), and QoL (WMD = -0.01; p = .70). CONCLUSIONS The study suggested that MetS may be one of the risk factors for the clinical progress of BPH. However, further study is warranted to support these results.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the metabolic syndrome-related risk factors for the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in healthy men.A total of 4880 healthy men who underwent transrectal ultrasonography at our hospital during routine health examinations were included in this study. Those who had undergone a prior biopsy or surgery for prostate disease, were suspected of having urinary tract infection, or were taking BPH/LUTS or metabolic syndrome medications were excluded. BPH/LUTS was defined as an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) of ≥8 and a prostate volume (PV) of ≥30 cm.The subjects had a mean age of 54.1 years, PV of 29.2 cm, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 1.20 ng/mL, and IPSS of 9.2. The annual PV growth rate was 0.48 cm/year. Age, body mass index (BMI), PSA, basal metabolic rate, apolipoprotein A-1, fasting blood glucose, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels were significant predictive factors for PV. Age, PSA, apolipoprotein B, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, HDL, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels were predictors of BPH/LUTS at the initial health examination. A decreased fat mass and LDL level were a significant risk factor for the development of BPH/LUTS within 5 years in men without a BPH/LUTS diagnosis at the initial examination.Metabolic syndrome-related variables were strongly associated with BPH/LUTS and by decreasing fat mass and LDL levels, development of BPH/LUTS could be prevented within 5 years in healthy Korean men.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in women, as severe LUTS are known to be associated with CVD risk in men but few studies have focused on this issue in women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 1014 ostensibly healthy women, who participated in a voluntary health check in a health promotion centre from November 2013 to October 2015, were enrolled. LUTS were assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS). CVD risk scores were calculated using the Framingham risk score and the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) score. Correlation, partial correlation, and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted. RESULTS The mean age and body mass index (BMI) of the women were 51 years and 22.6 kg/m2 , respectively. The ASCVD score showed significant positive correlations with IPSS items Question 2 (Q2), Q3, Q5, and Q7 (all P < 0.05), total IPSS (P = 0.001), IPSS storage (P = 0.006) and IPSS voiding symptoms scores (P = 0.001) based on partial correlation analysis after adjustment for BMI. For the OABSS, the ASCVD score showed significant positive correlations with OABSS items Q2, Q3, and Q4 (P < 0.001, P = 0.017, and P < 0.001, respectively) and total OABSS (P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the moderate-severe risk groups of the OABSS and IPSS were associated with the ASCVD risk score in adjusted models (P < 0.001) compared to the none-mild OABSS and mild IPSS groups. After adjustment for age and BMI, IPSS storage score was significantly related with the ASCVD risk score (B = 0.855, P = 0.016) CONCLUSIONS: LUTS, especially storage symptoms, might be risk factors for predicting future CVD risk in women. Further prospective or cohort studies are needed to validate this possibility.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an ever growing pandemic consisting of a constellation of abnormalities. Many hypotheses have been put forth to establish a link between this syndrome and voiding dysfunction. We created a layout of the possible, probable, and proven relationships connecting the MetS with voiding dysfunction in men. RECENT FINDINGS There has been growing interest in the relationship linking MetS and voiding dysfunction, with or without benign prostatic hyperplasia, during the past several years. Different mechanisms have been proposed to establish the connection. SUMMARY A clear-cut association between MetS and voiding dysfunction is not clearly defined; rather, voiding dysfunction occurring in men with MetS has been shown to be related to numerous pathologies. MetS is a complex disease that includes numerous pathophysiological aspects that may contribute to the causation and advancement of voiding dysfunction. In light of this association, future research is needed to better define this relationship to enable therapy targeted against MetS in patients with voiding dysfunction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We investigated if "thermobalancing" therapy (TT), using Dr Allen's therapeutic device (DATD) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can aid in understanding the etiology and pathophysiology of BPH. METHODS We compared urinary and other parameters of BPH patients who received TT over 6 months (treatment group) with those of healthy volunteers who had not received the treatment (control group). Dynamics of symptoms and indicators in each group were evaluated in comparison with their data at the beginning and end of the study. Parameters were the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) for urinary symptoms and quality of life (QoL), ultrasound measurement of prostate volume (PV) and uroflowmetry (maximum flow rate, Qmax). TT effectiveness was examined in 124 men with BPH and PV <60 mL. We also investigated the data of five patients with BPH and PV >60 mL. RESULTS TT decreased urinary symptoms and PV, increased Qmax and improved QoL in men with BPH, PV <60 mL, and in men with BPH, PV >60 mL. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that TT is effective for BPH, suggesting that blood circulation plays a crucial role in its cause. The continuous heat exposure that does not exceed the normal body temperature terminates the trigger of BPH development, "micro-focus" of hypothermia, and the following spontaneous expansion of capillaries. TT could be considered to be a useful tool in BPH treatment.

Abstract
Biologic rationales exist for the associations between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, epidemiologic studies have yield inconsistent results. The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the associations of MetS with the risk of BPH. The presence of MetS, the number of MetS components, and the individual MetS components were evaluated. After adjusting for potential confounders, MetS was associated with increased risk of BPH (HR: 1.29; 95% CI, 1.08-1.50; p < 0.001). Compared with subjects without any MetS components, the HRs were 0.88 (95% CI, 0.67-1.09; p = 0.86), 1.18 (95% CI, 0.89-1.47; p = 0.29) and 1.37 (95% CI, 1.08-1.66; p = 0.014) for subjects with 1, 2, or ≥3 MetS components, and there was a biologic gradient between the number of MetS components and the risk of BPH (p-trend < 0.001). Central obesity and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were the two main divers of the associations between these two conditions, with HRs of 1.93 (95% CI, 1.14-2.72; p = 0.001) for central obesity, and 1.56 (95% CI, 1.08-2.04; p = 0.012) for low HDL-C. Our findings support the notion that MetS may be an important target for BPH prevention and intervention.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have shown that age is the principal unmodifiable risk factor of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Until the past decade, the process of lower urinary tract ageing was, therefore, considered unmodifiable - as ageing per se. However, the traditional dogma that BPH-related LUTS (BPH-LUTS) is an immutable consequence of old age is no longer acceptable. Results from multiple preclinical and clinical studies indicate that several modifiable, age-related metabolic aberrations (metabolic syndrome, obesity, dyslipidaemia, diabetes) are important determinants in both the development and the progression of BPH-LUTS. Metabolic syndrome and its related comorbidities, such as sex steroid alterations and low-grade inflammation, have been related to BPH-LUTS development and progression. With the correct treatment and recommended lifestyle changes, many individuals with metabolic syndrome might be able to prevent or delay the onset of metabolic-syndrome-related complications; however, whether promoting healthier lifestyles can really alter a man's propensity to develop BPH-LUTS remains to be clarified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of metabolic components and body composition indices on prostate volume (PV) in a population of middle-aged men receiving health check-ups. METHODS Six hundred and sixteen men receiving health assessments were stratified to large and small prostates based on the cut-off of median PV. Their demographic data, health history, and international prostate symptoms scores (IPSS) were collected. Metabolic components and body composition indices were compared between subjects with large and small prostates. Moreover, the correlations between these parameters and PV were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS The median PV was 27 mL and mean age was 54.8 years. Subjects with large PV were older (56.5 vs. 52.7 years) and had higher serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level (1.73 vs. 0.96 ng/mL), higher IPSS score (8.37 vs. 6.16), and higher body fat, body mass, and waist circumference (all p<0.05). In multivariate analysis, age (OR, 2.45; 95%CI, 1.74-3.45), serum PSA (OR, 2.75; 95%CI, 1.96-3.86), waist circumference (OR, 1.45; 95%CI, 1.02-2.07), fatness (OR, 1.47; 95%CI, 1.04-2.09), and body fat mass (OR, 1.43; 95%CI, 1.00-2.03) were significantly correlated with PV of study subjects. In subgroup analysis, raised waist circumference (OR, 1.89; 95%CI, 1.00-3.59) was the independent predictor of PV in subjects with bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Several metabolic components and body composition indices are significantly associated with PV of middle-aged men, including raised waist circumference, fatness, and body fat mass. Raised waist circumference is the only independent predictor of PV in middle-aged men with bothersome LUTS.

Abstract
A significant amount of epidemiological evidences have underlined an emerging link between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic enlargement a (BPE). We aimed to assess the connections between LUTS and MetS with its components. Meta-analysis were conducted to determine the mean differences (MD) and confidence intervals of IPSS total score, IPSS-voiding, IPSS-storage and prostate volume (PV) in patients with or without MetS. Ln(odds-ratio) were calculated to estimate the risk of having moderate-to-severe LUTS (IPSS ≥ 8). Nineteen studies were identified as eligible for this systematic review, with a total of 18,476 participants, including 5554 (30.06%) with and 12,922 (69.94%) without MetS. Pooled analysis did not demonstrate significant MD of IPSS, IPSS-voiding and IPSS-storage in men with or without MetS but PV was significantly different (MD = 2.18; p = 0.03). Presence of MetS was not significantly associated with moderate-to-severe LUTS (odds ratio = 1.13; p = 0.53) and only altered serum triglycerides and diabetes were associated with this risk. The association between MetS and LUTS/BPE remain unclear and further observational studies in a population with metabolic disorders should be conducted in order to address it's potential role in determining LUTS/BPE.
