Key Points

  • Investigate the relationship between frailty and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and older men.
  • Prospective cohort study design
  • Assessment of baseline frailty status
  • Monitoring frailty progression over time
  • Analysis of associations with BPH/LUTS risk
  • Baseline frailty status linked to increased risk of BPH/LUTS
  • Dynamic frailty trajectories showed stronger associations with BPH/LUTS risk
  • Monitoring frailty progression enhances risk prediction for BPH/LUTS

Abstract

Both baseline frailty status and dynamic FI trajectories were independently associated with BPH/LUTS risk. Longitudinal trajectories exhibited stronger associations and greater predictive value, highlighting the importance of monitoring frailty progression for improved risk stratification and targeted prevention.
