Who is at risk for prostate cancer?

Men over 50 years of age and men with a family history of prostate cancer.

The incidence of prostate cancer is closely related to age and increases with age, and middle-aged and older men older than 50 years are at high risk for prostate cancer.

In addition, the development of prostate cancer is closely related to lifestyle habits such as diet. The fact that a diet high in animal fat is an important risk factor, especially for those who regularly eat red meat (pork, beef, lamb, etc.), may be one of the reasons for the rapid increase in the incidence of prostate cancer in China in recent years.

Men over the age of 50 should therefore be screened regularly for prostate cancer; in particular, men with a family history of prostate cancer should be screened and followed up regularly from the age of 45.
