Lipids, lipoproteins and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia in community‐dwelling men

Abstract

In these community-dwelling men, higher serum LDL was associated with a greater risk of BPH among diabetics. These data suggest that diabetic men with increased LDL cholesterol are at greater risk of BPH. This observation is consistent with the concept that cardiac risk factors are involved with the pathogenesis of BPH.
