RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA AND METABOLIC SYNDROME

Abstract

Introduction: Factors that may increase the risk of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), and one theory suggests a possible connection between metabolic syndrome and the development of BPH. This study aims to investigate the potential relationship between metabolic syndrome and the development of BPH. Methods: This study analyzed medical records from Saiful Anwar Hospital in Malang from 2015 to 2020, using a case-control research design. It applied Chi-Square and Logistic Regression methods for data analysis. Results: The study, based on data from 90 patients, found that the highest number of BPH cases (75.56%) occurred in those with hypertension. Factors like body mass index and blood pressure were significantly associated with BPH (p-values = 0.046; OR = 2.473). Logistic regression confirmed the impact of fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and body mass index categories on BPH. Conclusion: This research illustrates that there is an association between type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity with the occurrence of BPH. However, there is no statistically significant relationship between the components of metabolic syndrome and the occurrence of BPH.
