To determine the distribution of, and racial differences in, changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) from a population-based sample of men.Data from 2 prospective cohort studies of a random sample of white men, aged 40-79 years in 1990, followed biennially through 2007, and African American men, aged 40-79 years in 1996, followed through 2000, were examined to assess the longitudinal changes in...
To determine the longitudinal changes of benign prostate-specific antigen (BPSA) and [−2]proPSA and how these changes relate to the outcomes. These markers have been shown to be predictive of prostate cancer (CaP) and benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment; however, little is known about longitudinal changes in these markers. In 1990, a 25% subsample from a cohort of white men aged 40-79 years,...
To conduct a study to determine whether diabetes treatment is associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)/lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and progression in black and white men. Diabetes has been associated with BPH and LUTS in aging men. Using the Olmsted County Study of Urinary Symptoms and Health Status among Men and the Flint Men's Health Study, we examined how the use of medical...
To conduct a study to determine whether weight changes were associated with the risk of developing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Obesity has been associated with LUTS in aging men.The study population consisted of men participating in the Olmsted County Study of Urinary Symptoms and Health Status among Men and the Flint Men's Health Study. Weight loss and weight gain were defined as a change...
To use two population-based samples of prostate cancer–free men to develop and validate a novel multivariable equation for estimating prostate volume (PV). Previous investigators have demonstrated the ability to use serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels to estimate PV in men without prostate cancer; however, the ability of additional clinical variables to further enhance PV estimation in these...
Men with type 2 diabetes have lower concomitant prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels; however, the influence of metabolic conditions on PSA changes over time remains unknown. Therefore, the goal of this study was to assess associations between type 2 diabetes and hypertension and changes in serum PSA levels.In 1990, a randomly selected cohort of Caucasian men, ages 40-79, from Olmsted County, MN...
To characterize ultrasound bladder measures, and to determine whether these measures were associated with measures of lower urinary tract dysfunction.Three-dimensional ultrasounds were used to assess bladder surface area (SA), bladder wall thickness (BWT), and estimated bladder weight (EBW) in a random sample of the Olmsted County, Minnesota, male population. Uroflowometry was used to determine maximum...
To examine the association between α-blocker use and sexual dysfunction among men participating in a population-based cohort of men residing in Olmsted County, MN. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men have previously been associated with sexual dysfunction. The use of α-adrenergic receptor blocking agents results in an improvement in LUTS for many men. If sexual dysfunction and LUTS share a...
To determine whether physician-diagnosed prostatitis was associated with later development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)-associated events in a longitudinal, population-based sample of 2447 men residing in Olmsted County, Minnesota.Medical records were reviewed for physician diagnosis of prostatitis and subsequent diagnoses of BPH, enlarged prostate, prostatism, and acute urinary retention...
