Of 51 patients submitted to operation for benign prostatic hyperplasia three (5.9%) were knwon, diabetics and two others had undergone surgery for peptic ulcer. Of the remaining patients half (23 out of 46) were found to be diabetic; 40% (20 patients) had a history of previous cardiac infarction or electrocardiograph evidence of myocardial ischaemia.It is suggested that these findings add further support to the hypothesis that benign prostatic hyperplasia is one manifestation of a relative increase of oestrogen secretion with advancing age.
在接受良性前列腺增生手术的51名患者中，已知有3名（5.9%）患有糖尿病，另外两名曾接受过胃溃疡手术。在其余患者中，一半（46名中的23名）被发现患有糖尿病；40%（20名患者）有既往心肌梗死病史或心电图显示心肌缺血。有人认为，这些发现进一步支持了以下假说，即良性前列腺增生是随着年龄增长雌激素分泌相对增加的一种表现。
