Age Increases Risk of Prostate Ailments

Prostate health can be influenced by several factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as age and genetics.

- 

Age is the most significant risk factor, with the majority of prostate cancer cases occurring in men over 50, particularly after 65. A family history of prostate cancer, especially if a close relative was diagnosed before 60, increases your risk. Ethnicity also plays a role, as African American men are more likely to develop prostate cancer and have more advanced stages when diagnosed.
