Abstract:
Nocturia is one of the most common urological symptoms in men and women. Its prevalence is significantly related to age, but the causes of nocturia are multifactorial, such as diabetes, obesity, and other diseases and conditions. Recently, it has been reported that metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with lower urinary tract symptoms, including incomplete emptying, intermittency, and nocturia. We reviewed the relationship between MetS and its components and nocturia. The results from our epidemiological study indicate that nocturia can be a marker not only of MetS but also of the precursor of MetS.
