    Dietary and sexual habits are linked to a higher risk of developing benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). This study identified several lifestyle factors associated with increased BPH risk in men.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a common condition affecting aging men.
    • Identifying risk factors for BPH is crucial for prevention and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate potential lifestyle and environmental risk factors associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study involving 100 BPH patients and 100 age- and residence-matched controls.
    • Data collected via interviews conducted by urologists using a standardized questionnaire.
    • Matched-pair analysis to determine relative risks (RR) for various factors.

    Main Results:

    • Significant risk factors for BPH included higher education (RR=2.77), not working in agriculture/forestry/fishing (RR=4.82), no occupational environmental pollution (RR=2.90), higher income (RR=3.84), higher standard of living (RR=4.24), more than two children (RR=2.67), early first nocturnal emission (RR=3.11), longer duration of sexual intercourse (RR=2.43), no history of prolonged sexual impotence (RR=2.29), no family history of gastric ulcer (RR=7.98) or breast cancer (RR=8.25), regular milk consumption (RR=2.25), irregular vegetable intake (RR=3.91), and infrequent pickle consumption (RR=1.99).

  • Factors with borderline significance (0.05 < P < 0.10) included past history of STIs (RR=1.84-4.26) and daily meat consumption (RR=3.18).

    • Conclusions:

    • Dietary habits, such as regular milk intake and irregular consumption of vegetables and pickles, are associated with BPH risk.
    • Certain sexual habits, including early onset of nocturnal emissions and longer intercourse duration, may increase BPH risk.
    • Lifestyle factors, including socioeconomic status and occupational exposures, play a role in BPH development.
