The study subjects were divided on the basis of Age groups, body mass index groups and waist circumference groups. Result: Mean prostate volume of BPH patients was found to be was 62.7 ± 12.5 years. Mean BMI was found to 24kg/m2. Mean waist circumference was found to be 73.8cms. Prostate volume was found to be doubled in waist circumference of greater than 90cm group.
