Correlation between metabolic unhealth and prostate cancer -an inverse probability weighting study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current research indicates that prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men, and its occurrence may be linked to metabolic unhealth. Therefore, we conducted a study on the correlation between metabolic unhealth and PCa.

Objective

To study the correlation between metabolic unhealth and the incidence of PCa.

Methods

A total of 607 patients underwent prostate biopsy in the urology department of a certain tertiary hospital in Urumqi, Xinjiang from May 2018 to September 2022. Age was used as a matching variable inverse probability weighted to reduce the influence of confounding factors. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between metabolic unhealthiness and the risk of prostate cancer.
