Abstract



Objective:
The studies evaluating, association between obesity and lower urinary tract symptoms
(LUTS) are limited. Our study’s objective was to determine the correlation
between obesity and LUTS in men.

Methods:
Information of 639 patients who were aged between 37 and 92, had not been
treated for BPH before, had moderate or severe LUTS, had International Prostate
Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥8 and had prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value less than
4 ng/ml was evaluated retrospectively. Measured Body Mass Index (BMI) was
classified in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO).

Results:
A statistically significant difference was present between BMI groups with
respect to post-void residual urine volume (PVR) (p=0.017). PVR level of the
obesity group’s PVR level was found to be significantly lower when compared to
the normal group (p<0.05). In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), only PVR
parameter among LUTS was found to differ significantly from BMI groups (
p=0.037). In
patients with DM, the mean of PVR of obese patients was detected to be
significantly lower when compared to the mean of normal patients (p<0.05).
In patients with cardiovascular disease (CD), only Qmax and Qave parameters
were found to differ significantly from BMI groups. (p=0.001 and p<0.001,
respectively). In patients with CD, the mean Qmax of obese patients was
significantly higher than the average of normal-weight patients (p<0.05).







Conclusion:
Although there is no association between obesity and
LUTS except PVR, we think that the risk of obesity associated with DM and CD
would significantly increase the risk of LUTS.
