THE IMPACT OF OBESITY ON HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE BEFORE AND AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY (DATA FROM CaPSURE)

Abstract

In the majority of domains men with higher BMI had lower HRQOL at diagnosis than men of normal BMI. Obese men have a similar recovery pattern of HRQOL after radical prostatectomy, with minimal additive long-term impairment in HRQOL relative to men of normal weight.
