Abstract

This paper presents an investigation into factors influencing the level of prostate specific antigens (PSAs) in men with a focus on abdominal obesity. Data were collected from the exam results and medical records of male clients that visited a university hospital in Suwon for a general check-up. The data of total 1,039 were put to frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, independent-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, chi-squared test, and multiple regression analysis. The subjects were men in their twenties to in their seventies. The study analyzed whether there would be differences in mean PSAs according to the characteristics of the subjects and found significant differences according to age, BMI, and waist. The findings indicate that abdominal obesity influences the level of PSAs in men and that men with abdominal obesity should not neglect the level of PSAs even in the normal range.
