Studies Presented at AUA 2024 Highlight Latest Research on Voiding Dysfunction and BPH
May 04 2024 - 1:48PM
Abstracts being presented at the American Urological Association's
Annual Meeting show the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
can be inherited using a polygenic risk score and nocturia can be
correlated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Researchers will present their study findings covering important
updates on sexual function in San Antonio, TX, from May 3 to 6.
Charles Welliver, MD, director of men’s health in the Division of
Urology at Albany Medical College, moderated a virtual press
session with the abstract authors, providing key insights into
their research.
“In this panel we talk about very common problems that affect
all men and women throughout the United States,” said Dr. Welliver
“We look at a variety of high yield interesting questions about
both prostate cancer prevention to dementia risks associated with
medications.”
The following abstracts are covered in the moderated panel:
- The Association Between 5-ALPHA Reductase Inhibitors and
Prostate Cancer Mortality
- Long-term Dementia Risk with Use of Anticholinergic versus
Beta-3-Agonist Pharmacotherapy for Overactive Bladder
- Does Activity Level Modulate the Genetic Risk of BPH? A Cohort
Study From The UK Biobank
- How Nocturia Can Help a Urologist Diagnose a Sleep
Disorder
