Abstract

Statistical observation was made on the status of lips o trichia, status of hairing (beard, chest bristle, pubisure and leg bristle), status of canities, coital frequency, habits of foods and tasts and occupation on 434 patients with prostatic hypertrophy, 47 patients with prostatic cancer and 40 patients with reserved controls who visited the Department of Urology at Hiroshima University Hospital. Comparative analysis showed that the patients with prostatic hypertrophy have a tendency of fainting forehead hearing and thinning of bearing, but many patients with prostatic cancer showed thick bearing. The chest bristle was not observed in most of patients with prostatic hypertrophy, while it was seen in 30% of the patients with prostatic cancer. Concerning the pubisure, more than a half of patients with prostatic hypertrophy were noted to have horizontal type I and II or sagittal type I, while more than 60% of patients with prostatic cancer showed sagittal type II or acuminate type. On the leg bristle, the patients with prostatic cancer had thicker hairing than with prostatic hypertrophy or controls. Status of canities were not different between the groups. A tendency of higher coital frequency was noted in patients with prostatic hypertrophy. Further, the patients with prostatic hypertrophy had a trend to take more fatty food in every age group than the other patients. There was no noticeable difference on occupation between the groups.
