Correlation Of Prostate Volume With Body Mass Index、Age、Glucose And Serum PSA In Adult Males

Objective:To study the correlation between prostate volume and body mass index,age, serum PSA and glucose in adult males.Methods:Prostate volume (PV),body mass index (BMI), serum PSA, blood glucose(BG), were measured in1200adult males. The correlation of PV with BMI, AGE, BG, SERUM PSAwere analyzed with SPSS13.0statistical software.Results:The subjects’average age was (53.36±0.16) years, and their mean prostate volume (20.28±0.02) mL. The statistical analyses regarding the age (P=0.013,r=0.332), BMI (P=0.015, r=0.219), BG (P=0.001,r=0.472),FPSA (P=0.014,r=0.243), TPSA(P>0.05). The statistical analyses regarding the BMI and TPSA (P=0.002,r=-0.347) FPSA(P=0.002,r=-0.348).Conclusion:In the adult males,BMI, AGE and BG could be risk factors in the way of the enlargement of prostate volume. Weight control and therapy of High blood sugar may delay the increase of prostate volume. Serum PSA levels are directly correlated with age and prostate volume.The age-specific reference ranges of PSA have the potential to improve both the specificity and sensitivity of PSA level to detect prostate cancer. BMI is associated with PSA. As BMI increases, serum PSA decreases. The current data suggest that such an influence should be considered in the clinical application of PSA.
