Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is increasing in Korea owing to the westernized eating habits and changes in living environment. However, very few studies have been made to determine the standard value of the prostate volume as a diagnostic reference. Also, most of the previous studies have been focusing on the elder population over 40 years old. This study retrospectively analyzes the results of prostate volume measured by transrectal ultrasonography in the healthy Korean men in their 30's who visited our institution's center for health promotion for routine checkups. The mean age of the total of 157 men enrolled was $34.6{\pm}2.9$ years, and the mean prostate volume was $19.4{\pm}4.0ml$. Prostate volume of these men was correlates proportionally to their age, prostate specific antigen, body mass index, body surface area, and abdominal girth. Among these, the strongest correlation is between the prostate volume and the abdominal girth (r=0.317, p<0.001).

서구화된 식습관과 생활환경의 변화로 전립선비대증이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 진단 시 표준으로 참고할 기준이 되는 전립선 용적에 대한 연구가 부족하다. 또한 국내에서 이뤄진 연구의 대부분은 40대 이상의 중년 남성을 대상으로 하고 있다. 본 연구는 건강검진을 위해 방문한 30대 남성에서 경직장초음파로 측정한 전립선 용적을 후향적으로 분석하여 그 결과를 보고한 내용이다. 총 157명을 대상으로 하여 평균 연령은 $34.6{\pm}2.9$세이었고, 평균 전립선 용적은 $19.4{\pm}4.0ml$이었다. 전립선 용적은 연령, 전립선특이항원 수치, 체질량지수, 체표면적, 복부둘레와 양의 상관관계를 보였고, 특히 복부둘레와 가장 큰 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.317, p<0.001).
