Low lean mass is associated with lower urinary tract symptoms in US men from the 2005-2006 national health and nutrition examination survey dataset.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the relationship between low lean mass (LLM) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) using the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset. We enrolled 959 men with an average age of 52.08 ± 7.91 years and performed weighted multiple regression analysis to determine the independent relationship between exposure variables (LLM, alternate LLM) and outcomes variables (urinary hesitancy, incomplete emptying, urinary frequency, nocturia, daytime LUTS, clinical LUTS) after adjusting for confounding factors. The prevalence of urinary hesitancy (OR = 7.76, P < 0.0001), incomplete emptying (OR = 2.49, P = 0.0070), urinary frequency (OR = 3.28, P < 0.0001), daytime LUTS (OR = 3.88, P < 0.0001) and clinical LUTS (OR = 8.11, <
