AB  - To examine if lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) progression was related to anthropometric and lifestyle factors.The analysis included 5495 men who participated in the EPIC-Heidelberg cohort (recruited 1994-1998) and who reported an International Prostate Symptom Score < 8 at follow-up 4 (FUP4, 2007-2009), had not reported taking α-adrenoreceptor antagonists or 5-α reductase inhibitors or prostate surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia/LUTS treatment. LUTS progression was defined as an International Prostate Symptom Score ≥ 8 at FUP5 (2010-2012). Using logistic regression analysis, education, marital status, satisfaction with life, satisfaction with health, history of diabetes and of hypertension, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and physical activity were examined as potential LUTS risk factors adjusting for age.Increase in BMI between baseline and FUP4 of ≥ 2 BMI units was related to LUTS progression (odds ratio 1.30, 95
