Unmasking Elevated PSA: Prevalence and Modifiable Risk Factors in Men Aged ≥ 40 Years Attending Kabutare District Hospital in Rwanda
Elevated PSA prevalence among asymptomatic Rwandan men mirrors global patterns observed in Black populations. Associations with underweight status, occupational exposure, and alcohol use suggest multifactorial influences. These findings highlight the need for targeted screening strategies and community-level interventions to promote early prostate cancer detection in Rwanda.
