The relationships between waist circumference as an indicator of central obesity and lower urinary tract symptoms, erectile dysfunction and metabolic syndrome components

Abstract

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between waist circumference, which is as an indicator of central obesity, and lower urinary tract symptoms, erectile dysfunction and metabolic syndrome components. Materials and methods: The data of 52 patients with moderate-severe lower urinary tract symptoms, who had no previous diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate specific antigen

Keywords

• Central obesity, lower urinary tract symptoms, sexual function, metabolic syndrome
