MPV was measured by the method of laser-based flow cytometric impedance according to the complete blood sample. BPH was defined as total prostate volume (TPV) ≥ 30 mL, TPV was determined by transabdominal ultrasonography. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were fitted to calculate hazards ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for BPH risk with NLR levels.Results: During a median follow-up of 2.7 years, 4848 BPH cases were documented in total male participants, and 1787 BPH cases were documented in MetS participants. After adjusting for age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol and personal and family history of disease, the multivariable-adjusted HRs of BPH were 1.00 (reference), 1.03 (95% CIs 0.96, 1.11), 1.00 (95% CIs 0.92, 1.08) and 0.98 (95% CIs 0.90, 1.06), respectively, for participants with MPV in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quartiles (P for trend = 0.47). In MetS patients, the multivariable-adjusted HRs of BPH were 1.00 (reference), 1.03 (95% CIs 0.90, 1.16), 0.99 (95% CIs 0.87, 1.14) and 1.01 (95% CIs 0.89, 1.15) (P for trend= 0.98), respectively.Conclusion: A non-significant association was observed between MPV levels and risk of BPH, and no association in this association in MetS patients. Our findings support the notion that MPV levels may not be a target for BPH prevention and intervention.Keywords: mean platelet volume, inflammation, benign prostatic hyerplasia, metabolic syndrome, prospective cohort study
