Abdominal aortic calcification and visceral fat obesity each seem to influence lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), study findings suggest.
These effects may be related to overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system, although the precise pathways remain to be elucidated, write the researchers in International Urology and Nephrology.
Recent research has implicated the metabolic syndrome in the aetiology of both LUTS and BPH, possibly because components of the metabolic syndrome cause autonomic sympathetic overactivity.
