| Abstract:Objective：To understand the current situation of chronic prostatitis in the athlete population, and to analyze the related influencing factors, to provide a theoretical basis for further exploration of relevant pathogenesis and targeted treatment. Methods：Questionnaire survey was conducted on the active athletes of the Shanghai Cycling Team and the Shanghai Rowing Team. Through the multifactor analysis of relevant data, the influencing factors related to the incidence and symptom degree of chronic prostatitis were explored. Results：The total score of National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIHCPSI) symptom scores in chronic prostatitis patients was positively correlated with age: when the score A increased by 1 point, the age increased by 0.278 years (P=0.041) with body mass index (BMI) group controlled; taking 20 years old as the age stratification, the >20 years old group suffered greater pain or degree of discomfort than the ≤20 years old group (P=0.030). Classification by age 22, the pain symptoms of the age > 22 years old were more severe than those in the ≤ 22 years old group in different body parts (P=0.039). Conclusions：The incidence of chronic prostatitis among athletes, especially those engaged in certain specific projects, is higher than that of normal people. The increase in age may be a factor in increasing the incidence of chronic prostatitis in athletes in perennial training activities. In clinical treatment, older athletes should be given more attention and psychological care. |
