PDF- Transcription
The role of sexual activity (SA) on prostate cancer (PCa) risk is still controversial.
Strengths & Limitations
This is the first dose–response meta-analysis performed to describe the association between SA and PCa risk. However, the direction of causality between SA and risk of PCa should be interpreted with caution because most included studies used case-control design.
Conclusion
Meta-analysis of the included studies indicated that men with fewer sexual partner numbers, older age at first intercourse, and moderate frequent ejaculation were associated with a significantly decreased risk of PCa.
