Cross-sectional study on the association between serum uric acid levels and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia
This study demonstrates a significant inverse association between SUA levels and BPH risk, particularly in subgroups of older age, non-obesity, absence of NAFLD, hypertension and absence of diabetes. This suggests a potential protective role of SUA in BPH development, highlighting the potential value of maintaining SUA levels within a reasonable range for BPH prevention.
