Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between metabolic syndrome and the prostatic volume.
Materials and Methods: From January 1997 to December 2006, 555 male out-patients who visited our health care center were investigated and they underwent transrectal ultrasonogram of the prostate. The patients were divided into two groups; group A met the criteria for metabolic syndrome (128 patients) and group B did not meet the criteria(427 patients). The authors compared the age, the prostate-specific antigen(PSA) and the prostate volume between these two groups.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in age and PSA between the two groups. The prostate volume was significantly larger in group A(39.5?17.3cc) than in group B(31.7?9.6cc).
Conclusions: The results of this study proved that metabolic syndrome and the prostate volume are related. Therefore, proper clinical management of metabolic syndrome should accompany the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).(Korean J Urol 2007;48:603-607)
