Predictive Values of Nocturia and Its Voiding Frequency on the Aging Males' Symptoms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The link between nocturia and aging male symptoms (AMS) has not been scientifically established. This study aimed to measure the degree of severity of AMS that impacts health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult males living with nocturia and to determine the predictive values of nocturnal factors on AMS.

Methods
