LCL: lower confidence level; UCL: upper confidence level. The results in this table apply to male respondents aged 40 years or older. Those who had a PSA test to monitor prostate cancer are not included. Four categories of BMI: underweight BMI <18.5, normal weight 18.5 ≤ BMI <25, overweight 25 ≤ BMI <30, and obese 30 ≤ BMI. Percentages and odds ratios (with corresponding confidence intervals) are weighted in order to get a representative sample of the US population. Confidence intervals that do not overlap 1 indicate statistical significance at the 0.05 level.
