Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine whether blood pressure and heart rate are correlated with the development of prostate cancer. METHODS: A total of 58,704 men whose blood pressure, heart rate, and other characteristics were measured at multiphasic checkups were followed for < or = 30 years. The incidence of, and mortality from, prostate cancer were measured. There were 2297 cases and 464 deaths. RESULTS: No evidence of a positive association of blood pressure or heart rate with subsequent prostate cancer was found. CONCLUSIONS: Data from this large population lend no support for concerns that higher levels of blood pressure or heart rate are linked to increased risk of prostate cancer.
