Association between red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio and prostate specific antigen based on NHANES data.

ABSTRACT: As the most common cancer in men in the United States, risk factors for prostate cancer (PCa) need to be identified. Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels are used for the screening of prostate cancer due to its association with the disease. Investigations have indicated that the risk of prostate cancer determined based on PSA can be further stratified on the basis of total PSA (tPSA) and f/t PSA. Further, the red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio (RAR) has recently been identified as a novel biomarker for multiple inflammatory diseases. The relationship between RAR and PSA remains unclear. Here, we intended to study the association between RAR and PSA. National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) represents a cross-sectional observational study within the
