ANS: D
Prevalence in the United States is about 50 in men 60 years and older and 90 among men 70 years or older. BPH is common and involves a complex pathophysiology with several endocrine and local factors and remodeled microenvironment, but its relationship to aging is well docu-mented. Risk factors for BPH do not include prostatitis, a diet high in fat, or cigarette smoking.
