The impact of dietary inflammation index on benign prostatic hyperplasia: insights from patient data and animal models
Our integrated population-based, genetic, and experimental evidence supports a causal role of dietary inflammatory load in the development of BPH. Chronic consumption of pro-inflammatory diets may promote BPH through sustained systemic and prostate-specific inflammation, while anti-inflammatory dietary patterns may confer protective effects. These findings highlight the potential of dietary modulation as a preventive and therapeutic strategy for BPH management.
