Objectives: We investigated the incidence rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in Korean adult males.
Method: Data were obtained from 2008 to 2016 in the National Health Insurance Service. The incidence was defined as a newly diagnosed patients with BPH in 2012-2016 after excluding patients with BPH in 2008-2011. The incidence rate was confirmed by age, administrative districts, and scale of city.
Results: The age-standardized incidence rate of BPH was 16.3% from 2012 to 2016. The incidence rate was presented to be 8.9%, 16.8%, 25.0%, 26.7%, and 30.4%, respectively, in the 40s to 80s or over. According to administrative districts, the highest incidence rate was 18.2% and 17.3% in Daejeon and Gwangju, respectively, and the lowest incidence rate was 15.0% in Gangwon. And the highest incidence of 16.5% was observed in the big city among big city, small-to-medium city and rural area.
Conclusions: The age-standardized incidence rate in Korea was 16.3% and incidence rate of BPH increased with age.
