  1. BPH: benign prostatic hyperplasia; CI: Confidence Interval; BMI: body mass index; RR: risk ratio
  2. aAlso adjusted for time between completion of the baseline and supplemental questionnaires
  3. bAlso adjusted for number of DREs and time between participants’ first and last DRE
  4. cToo few cases (n ≤ 5) to estimate
