Risk factors for depression in middle-aged and elderly males with benign prostatic hyperplasia/lower urinary tract symptoms
Objective:To investigate the risk factors for depression in middle-aged and elderly Chinese male patients with be-nign prostatic hyperplasia/lower urinary tract symptoms(BPH/LUTS).Methods:Based on the data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS),we included 8 426 male participants aged≥45 years in this study,and explored the risk factors for depression in patients with BPH/LUTS by logistic regression analysis.Results:Among the total number of partici-pants,there were 1 447 cases of BPH/LUTS,with a prevalence rate of 17.2%,and 36.5%of the patients(529/1 447)were compli-cated by depression.Logistic regression analysis showed that underlying diseases were the risk factors for depression in patients with BPH/LUTS(OR=1.29,95%CI:1.03-1.62),while the protective factors against the condition included high school education or above(OR=0.52,95%CI:0.36-0.75),urban residence(OR=0.75,95%CI:0.60-0.95),eastern region(OR=0.61,95%CI:0.38-0.97),and 6-9 h/d sleep(OR=0.52,95%CI:0.41-0.66).Conclusion:Underlying diseases,education level,residential area,geographical region,and sleep duration are influencing factors for depression in middle-aged and elderly male patients with BPH/LUTS in China and deserve the attention of clinicians.
