OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association of the risk and severity of @entity6802 ( @entity6802 ) and @entity308 diagnosed by neuropsychiatrists according to the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria using an objective questionnaire within community-dwelling elderly Korean @entity1 . METHODS: A total of 392 @entity1 who completed urological and @entity146 evaluations as a @entity1 in the Korean Longitudinal Study on Health and Aging were included in this analysis. From each subject, an interview elicited demographic characteristics and medical history, International Prostate Symptom Score was ascertained, and a @entity146 questionnaire was completed. Subjects were analyzed with regard to @entity308 and @entity6802 severity. RESULTS: The mean age of the subjects was 75 years, 22% were current smokers and 45% were heavy drinkers. Two hundred and twenty-nine subjects (59%) had moderate to severe @entity6802 and 6.4% of the subjects were diagnosed with major @entity308 . Those with @entity308 showed higher International Prostate Symptom Score and lower quality of life than the euthymic group (P = 0.03 and P = 0.02, respectively). Severe @entity6802 was more prevalent in the @entity308 group compared with the euthymic group (P = 0.01). Moderate to severe @entity6802 was associated with higher age, lower prevalence of @entity101 , and higher prevalence of @entity308 than mild @entity6802 . Univariate and multivariate analyses identified age, @entity101 , and @entity308 as significant prognostic factors for moderate to severe @entity6802 . @entity308 was the most significant prognostic factor. @entity308 was associated with 5.81-fold increased odds of having moderate to severe @entity6802 . CONCLUSION: In older Korean @entity1 , @entity308 symptoms are associated with moderate to severe @entity6802 .
