abstract = {Cancer worry and risk perception are relevant psychological
factors that influence preventive health behaviors.
Therefore, a thorough understanding of the factors that
impact their occurrence and manifestation is critical. The
objective of this study was to assess prevalence and factors
associated with worry about prostate cancer (PCa) and
absolute/comparative risk perception in a community-based
sample of 45-year-old men. Data were collected within the
German PCa screening trial PROBASE. Variables were assessed
by self-report questionnaires and a clinical interview.
Worry about PCa and absolute/comparative risk perception
were assessed each on a 5-point-Likert scale. Multivariable
logistic regression was used to identify factors associated
with the outcomes of interest. Data were available for
33,476 $(72.0\%)$ of 46,495 men at enrollment. $7.3\%$ had
sometimes/(very) often worry about PCa. $3.7\%$ and $9.9\%$
perceived their absolute risk and comparative risk as
somewhat high/very high and somewhat higher/much higher,
respectively. $18.8\%$ reported a positive PCa family
history. Important factors of worry about PCa, absolute risk
perception, and comparative risk perception were lower
urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (OR 3.00, $95\%$ CI 2.63-3.42;
OR 2.09, CI 1.71-2.56; OR 2.41, CI 2.10-2.76) and a positive
PCa family history (OR 2.35, CI 2.08-2.65; OR 15.13, CI
12.73-17.97; OR 9.69, CI 8.76-10.72). A positive history of
urological (OR 3.85, CI 2.63-5.63) and non-urological
cancers (OR 1.97, CI 1.52-2.54) were associated with a
higher comparative risk perception. In conclusion, worry
about PCa and risk perception are influenced by
non-cancer-related symptoms as well as by a positive PCa
family history. These findings need to be addressed in risk
communication with patients.},
