Different studies have demonstrated the probable relation of obesity, waist circumference, and body mass index to the development of BPH and bladder storage symptoms. Evidence on that subject is controversial. Some studies have found no association of WC and BMI with the development of LUTS and others have found no specific relation in an Asian population and an African population. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to demonstrate the relation between LUTS, BMI, and WC in Mexican men. METHODS: 300 patients were included in the study. They were distributed according to the WC measurement and BMI. The IPSS questionnaire was applied and ANOVA and chi-squared test were performed. Dependent variables were assessed by multiple logistic regression with the WC and BMI adjusted by the independent variable (age) as the fixed factor. RESULTS: Patients with a WC below 90 cm had a higher mean score (14.45±7.89), compared with the group with a WC of 91-99 cm (13.54±8.42) and the group with a WC >100 cm (11.36±8.72), with statistically significant differences.Patients with BMI <25 had a higher mean score (15.29±9.11), compared with the group with a BMI of 25-30 (11.97±8.17) and the group with a BMI >30 (11.88±8.64)Multivariate logistic regression showed that there was a greater likelihood of having a higher IPSS with less waist circumference (OR 0.64, p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: There was a negative association between visceral obesity and LUTS in a Mexican population, given that the patients that had a lower WC and BMI had higher scores on the IPSS.
