Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH) and atherosclerotie related indicators.Methods Totally 125 patients were divided into two groups based on prostate volume(PV):50 cases without BPH (PV≤30 ml) and 75 cases with BPH (PV＞30 ml).Age,body mass index (BMI),triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,glycosylated hemoglobin,prostate specific antigen (PSA),HOMA-IR,bilateral ankle brachial index (ABI) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) were measured and calculated.All these indicators were compared between two groups.The correlations of these indicators with PV were analyzed.Results BMI,TG,PSA,HOMA-IR and right-CAVI in BPH group were higher than in group without BPH (t=2.177,2.033,3.060,2.859,3.085,all P＜0.05),and right ABI was lower in the BPH group than in group without BPH (t=2.557,P＜0.05).The incidences of diabetes and coronary diseases in BPH group were increased compared with those without BPH (52％ and 36％ vs.30％ and 10％,x2 =5.917,10.648,P =0.015,0.001,respectively).PV was positively correlated with BMI,TG,PSA,right CAVI,left CAVI(r=0.336,0.216,0.556,0.295,0.389,all P＜0.05)by Pearson analysis.Conclusions BPH is closely correlated with insulin resistance and atherosclerosis.Atherosclerosis might cause prostate chronic ischemia and hypoxia,which may play a role in the pathogenesis of BPH.
