Abstract
Purpose: There are sparse published data concerning the urinary habits of asymptomatic American men. We studied those urinary habits, as revealed by a 24-hour voiding diary. Materials and Methods: Men without lower urinary tract symptoms completed the International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) and a 24-hour voiding diary. Demographic and diary data were analyzed using multivariate linear and logistic regression. Results: A total of 284 asymptomatic males 18 to 66 years old returned interpretable diaries. Subjects voided a median of 7 times in 24 hours (range 2 to 21) with 95% voiding fewer than 12 times daily. Median 24-hour urine volume was 1,650 ml (range 290 to 6,840). Median fluid intake was 2,747 ml (range 500 to 10,520). Of the men 82 (29%) reported at least 1 nocturic episode. The 24-hour frequency was related to total urine volume (β = 1.2, p <0.001) and total fluid intake (β = 0.1, p <0.001), inversely related to mean voided volume (β = -1.1, p <0.001) and lower in white men (β = 0.1, p = 0.02) but independent of age and body mass index. The probability of nocturia was highly related to the nighttime diuresis rate (β = 15, p [removed]
