ABSTRACT
Symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction are very common in ageing men and women. They are found in 25 to 40% of men aged over 60 years and are not synonymous with benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), which is found in about 30% of men aged over 60. Histological evidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is found in more than 50% of men aged over 60.
