Abstract

Aim. To evaluate LUTS prevalence and characteristics of lower urinary tract symptoms in young men and to investigate the relationship between LUTS and metabolic syndrome risk factors. Materials and methods. One hundred and one male student (age between 19 and 29, mean 21,2+1,5 years) of St Petersburg universities (63 (62,4%) students of First State Pavlov Medical University and 38 (37,6%) students of National Research University Higher School of Economics) were anonymously questioned. Students were asked about their height, weight, metabolic syndrome risk factors and interviewed by I-PSS and QoL questionnaire. The obtained data was analyzed in order to find significant relationship. Results. Lower urinary tract symptoms (I-PSS>0) were found in 84 (84%) men, mild and moderate LUTS - in 77 (77%) and 7 (7%) men, respectively. 39 (39%) men had both storage and voiding symptoms, storage only and voiding only symptoms were found in 31 (31%) and 14 (14%) students respectively. I-PSS score was higher in men with hypertension, diabetes, chronic stress and unmotivated fatigue (p=0,032, p=0,027, p=0,015 and p=0,003, respectively). In regression model (R2=0,268) I-PSS score was associated with diabetes (p<0,001), chronic stress (p=0,002) and hypertension (p=0,020). Conclusion. LUTS prevalence in young men is high. The relationship between LUTS and metabolic syndrome risk factors in young adult men can be considered as a reason for clinical investigation.
