Objective To explore the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), quality of life (QOL) and intervention-seeking behavior in middle-aged and elder menin rural area of Southern China. Methods Total of 598 men with over 50 years old were enrolled in this study. The interviewer-administered questionnaire including International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and quality of life (QOL) were used to assess the score of symptom severity. Results About 21.7% of the test subjects had moderate-to-severe LUTS (IPSS≥8). In the group of 50 to 59, 60 to 69,70 to79 and ≥80 years old,the incidence rates of moderate and severe LUTS were13.9%, 20.0%, 40.0% and 40.8%,respectively.The severity of LUTS was found to be increased with the growing of age and the increase of individual annual income. The scores of quality of life increased with the grade of LUTS severities. The rate of medicine-seeking respondents with moderate-to-severe LUTS was 27.7% and increased with their QOL scores and individual annual income. Conclusion The prevalence of LUTS of old-aged males in the rural community of Zhejiang Province was close to that in the Chinese urban areas and in Western countries reported in other studies. However, >70% of patients with moderate-to-severe LUTS did not seek medical intervention for symptoms.
