Studies Presented at AUA 2024 Highlight Latest Research on Voiding Dysfunction and BPH
SAN ANTONIO, May 4, 2024 (GLOBAL NEWSWIRE)—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, Texas, 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 and 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
A recording of the panel discussion is available to all press registrants. Fill out the registration form on the website to be added to the virtual programming: https://www.auanet.org/AUA2024/register/press-registration
