From a case-control study of LUTS nested in the placebo arm of PCPT (5). The men did not have a clinical indication for biopsy.

Model 1: unadjusted

Model 2: adjusted for age and race

Model 3: adjusted for age (continuous), race (white, non-white), BMI (continuous), smoking status (current, former, never), physical activity (sedentary, light, moderate, active), education (college, no college), diabetes (yes, no), and statins use (for aspirin model) or aspirin use (for statins model) (yes, no)
