A study of 602 Korean men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia found that those with a waist circumference greater than 90 cm (central obesity) had a 36% increased risk of severe LUTS compared with men who had smaller waists.

Findings appear in the Asian Journal of Andrology (2009; published online ahead of print).
