Values are presented as median (1st-3rd quartiles) or mean ± standard deviation. a: T value was determined by the t-test adopted in the continuous variables with homogeneous variance and normal distribution expressed as the mean ± standard deviation in two groups. Abbreviations: PE, prostate enlargement; EGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDLc, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDLc, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
