New study from Korea [1].
"Men who underwent prostate biopsy between January 2005 and December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The association between lipid profile and the risk, stage, and Gleason grade group (GG) of the PC were investigated."
"Of the 1740 study populations, 720 men (41.4%) were diagnosed as PC."
"Univariate quartile analysis founded serum triglyceride increasing risk of locally advanced disease than organ confined disease. (OR: 1.00, 1.25, 2.04, 4.57 for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quartile"
The triglycerides: HDL-cholesterol is a surrogate for insulin resistance. Too bad they didn't look at that too (they had the data).
"Conclusions: This study findings suggested increased in triglyceride level increased the risk PC. Increased in triglyceride level also associated with aggressive presentation of PC, with higher stage and GG."
