Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases encountered in urology practice which commonly occurs in the ageing man. Similarly, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and erectile dysfunction also increases with ageing. This study is an attempt to look at the percentage of patients presenting with any associated illness and then to assess the risk of smoking and alcohol consumption and their socioeconomic status of our group of patients by taking a thorough history of BPH patients. The study was conducted in the urology department saveetha medical college and hospital. This was a prospective cross-sectional study from October 2019 till February 2020. In this study, 150 BPH patients history was taken, and data regarding their co-morbid conditions, smoking habits and alcohol consumption were taken, and results were analyzed. Among the co-morbid conditions in this group of patients, the most typical medical condition found was diabetes (46%) and the second most common cause was erectile dysfunction (32%). Further, public health perspective research with factual data collected through various hospitals to assess future trends in BPH incidence rates and co-morbid conditions must be strongly encouraged to identify risk factors for the Indian population.

Abstract: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an inability to achieve an erection sufficient for intercourse with his partner which causes dissatisfaction for both of them. The etiology of ED is classified as psychogenic, organic, drug abuse, and also by post-surgery. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a disease caused by aging. BPH clinical signs usually appear in more than 50% of men aged ≥50 years. This was a survey-descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using purposive sampling technique. Respondents were patients at Efrata Adventist Clinic in Manado. The instrument in this study was modified IIEF-5 questionnaire. The results showed that based on the duration of BPH, respondents who suffered from BPH >3 years were as many as 75.0% and <1 year were 7.1%. Based on the ages, respondents of 61-70 years were 46.5 and of 41-50 years were 7.1%. The erectile dysfunction of respondents was classified as moderate 42.9%, mild-moderate 32.1%, severe 17.9%, and mild 7.1%. Conclusion: Most of the erectile dysfunction with BPH >3 years was classified as moderate.Keywords: erectile dysfunction, BPH Abstrak: Disfungsi ereksi (DE) yaitu suatu ketidakmampuan untuk mencapai ereksi yang cukup untuk melakukan senggama bersama pasangannya sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpuasan diantara keduanya. Etiologi DE diklasifikasikan menjadi psikogenik, organik, penyalahgunaan obat-obatan dan juga oleh pasca tindakan bedah. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh penuaan. Tanda klinis BPH biasanya muncul pada lebih dari 50% laki-laki yang berusia 50 tahun ke atas. Jenis penelitian ialah survei deskriptif-observasional dengan desain potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling pada seluruh pasien di Klinik Advent Efrata Tikala Manado. Variabel penelitian ialah pasien BPH di Klinik Advent Tikala Manado. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner IIEF-5 yang telah dimodifikasi. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan berdasarkan lama menderita BPH, responden yang menderita BPH >3 tahun sebesar 75,0%; 1-2 tahun sebesar 17,9%; dan <1 tahun sebesar 7,1%. Berdasarkan usia responden berusia 61-70 tahun sebesar 46,5% dan 41-50 tahun sebesar 7,1%. DE pada BPH paling banyak termasuk klasifikasi sedang (42,9%), diikuti ringan-sedang (32,1%), berat (17,9%) dan ringan (7,1%). Simpulan: Sebagian besar pasien DE dengan BPH >3 tahun termasuk dalam klasifikasi sedang. Kata kunci: disfungsi ereksi, BPH

Objective: Analyze grading of IPSS (International Prostatic Symptom Score) and PV (Prostate Volume) of BPH patients in a subset of Karachi Population. Methodology: A 103 Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) patients were recruited. A cross-sectional study was done Prostate Volume was recorded along with their IPSS also noted. Result: Among BPH patients 25.2% patients had prostate volume of 25 to 30 ml , 52.5% of patient had prostate volume of 30 to 50ml and 22.3% of patients had prostate volume above 50 ml. In IPSS grading 82.5% patients were under moderate symptom group and 17.5% were under severe symptom group. Conclusion: International Prostatic Symptom Score continues to increase as Prostate volume increases

IntroductionErectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are highly prevalent among aging men. However, the rate of coexistence of these two conditions in China is still unclear, especially among men aged 45 to 60 years. Instruments such as the abbreviated five-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) can be used to determine the presence of ED and the symptoms and severity of BPH, respectively. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of ED in men with BPH and to assess its impact on the quality of life (QoL) of these patients.MethodsBetween October 2018 and March 2019 we enrolled 650 patients aged 45 to 65 years who were diagnosed with BPH by a urologist in nine first- and second-tier cities in China. Information on patients’ demographics, lifestyle, comorbidities, and medication use was collected through an electronic clinical outcome assessment tool. Patients with an IIEF-5 score of less than twenty-two were considered to have ED. The IPSS and the five-level EuroQol questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) were used to assess BPH severity and overall health-related QoL.ResultsWe enrolled 650 patients with BPH. Of these, only the 607 men who reported sexual intercourse attempts (mean age of 56.6 years, standard deviation 5.5) were included in the analysis because it was assumed that the other patients did not have ED. Signs of ED were present in ninety-seven percent of patients (IIEF-5 score < 22), and eighty-four percent had at least mild to moderate impairment (IIEF score < 17). Up to nineteen percent reported having physician-diagnosed ED previously, and twenty-eight percent had used medication for ED in the past six months. Compared to men without ED, those with ED and BPH had higher IPSS scores (13.2 versus 6.7, p < 0.05) and lower EQ-5D-5L scores (0.90 versus 0.97, p < 0.05).ConclusionsAlthough the prevalence of ED in men with BPH in China is high, it is still underdiagnosed and undertreated. Co-existing ED in patients with BPH is associated with more severe BPH symptoms and lower quality of life.

AbstractIntroductionThere is evidence that demonstrates lower incidence rates of cardiometabolic factors at the highlands. There are no studies which correlate the altitude with formally calculated cardiovascular risk by a meter-by-meter approach. Under the hypothesis that cardiovascular risk is inversely associated with altitude, this study was aimed to assess such association.Materials and methodsCross sectional study using data from the Ecuadorian National Health Survey of 2012. We analyzed available information of adults of ≥ 40 to 60 years old who have sociodemographic, anthropometric, cardiovascular risk factors, and laboratory biomarkers that were included in the survey. We assessed the independent association between altitude of the housing in which survey participants lived at, on a meter-by-meter approach, and cardiovascular health risk at ten years, formally calculated by Framingham equations.ResultsLinear regression model showed that participants had 0.0005 % less probability of developing cardiovascular disease at 10 years per each increase in a meter in the altitude that participants live at (p<0.001), adjusted for sex, age, ethnicity, educational level, availability of social security, immigrants in family, area, income quintile, overcrowding (≥ 7 inhabitants in the house), any alcohol consumption, history of hypertension, body mass index, hematocrit, and triglycerides.ConclusionFrom a public health perspective, altitude at which individuals live is an important health determinant of cardiovascular risk. Specifically, per each increase of 1000 m in the altitude that people live at, there is a reduction of almost half a percentual point in the cardiovascular risk at 10 years.
