The association between lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia and multimorbidity among Chinese middle-aged and elderly males: evidence based on propensity score matching

With the aging population, patients with lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) often face multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity), significantly impacting their quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between LUTS/BPH, multimorbidity, and various chronic diseases in middle-aged and elderly Chinese populations.
