Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nutritional Science
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) causes significant morbidity.
  • Nutritional factors in BPH etiology remain under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the nutritional causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
  • To assess the relationship between diet and BPH risk in a Greek population.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study was conducted in Athens, Greece.
  • 184 BPH patients and 246 controls were analyzed using unconditional logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • Fruit consumption was inversely associated with BPH risk (OR 0.79).
  • Butter and margarine intake showed a positive association with BPH risk.

  • Dietary zinc was significantly positively associated with BPH risk.

    • Conclusions:

    • Butter, margarine, and zinc may increase BPH risk.
    • Fruit intake may reduce the risk of developing BPH.
    • Dietary zinc plays a potential role in BPH development.
