    Our aim was to investigate the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in terms of vascular risk factors include diabetes. In a prospective study, a total of 116 men aged 40 years or more who presented to the outpatient clinics of urology or endocrinology between January 2012 and April 2013 were included. After receiving a detailed medical history, fasting blood glucose, serum lipids including total cholesterol, HDL and triglyceride, HbA1c, creatinine, total testosterone and total prostate-specific antigen were measured. Urinalysis and uroflowmetry were done. Postvoiding residual urine and prostate volume were measured by suprapubic ultrasonography. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) of the patients were determined. Existence of vascular risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease and obesity as well as age, body mass index (BMI), weight, waist circumference and body fat percentage values were recorded. Of the patients, 41 (35.3%) had hypertension, 54 (46.6%) dyslipidemia, 68 (58.6%) diabetes mellitus, 34 (29.3%) coronary artery disease and 39 (33.6%) obesity. When the patients were grouped according to the presence of the risk factors (no risk [14 patients], mild to moderate [1-2 risk factor] [65 patients] and severe [3 or more risk factors] [37 patients]), there was no a significant difference among the groups in terms of IPSS (p 0.76). The results of this prospective study show that vascular risk factors and diabetes may not be related to LUTS.
