The association of unadjusted urine levels of sIL-1RA with waist-hip ratio, BMI and waist circumference was statistically significant with spearman correlation coefficient rs of 0.19(p= 0.004), 0.15(p=0.02) and 0.2(p=0.003), respectively as shown in panel A,B and C. Linear regression modelling of sIL-1RA levels adjusted for age and BPH treatment determined the β coefficient of 3 for waist hip ratio (p=0.01) and 0.04 and 0.016 for BMI (p=0.02) and waist circumference (p<0.01), respectively.
