The correlation between lipid abnormality and benign prostatic hyperplasia in men receiving physical examination / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between lipid abnormality and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men receiving physical examination. MethodsFour hundred and one people who participated health examination in our hospital in May 2008 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups according to history of disease, IPSS score, the results of digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasound BPH group (192 cases) and no BPH group (209 cases). The blood lipid level and risk factors were compared in two groups. ResultsThere were no statistical differences in blood lipid level and risk stratification of cardiovascular disease between the two groups (TGP=0. 698;TCP=0. 654;LDL-CP=0. 880; HDL-CP=0. 531; risk stratification P= 0. 251). IPSS score had no obvious correlation with blood lipid level (TG P = 0. 054 ; TC P =0. 149; LDL-C P = 0. 427; HDL-CP=0. 193) .Conclusions BPH complicated with lipid abnormality is common in the clinics, but the correlation between BPH and lipid abnormality in patients with light BPH is not so clear as that in patients with mild or severe BPH.
