BOSTON — Protection against heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, memory loss, colon cancer, fractures, and depression should be enough to get men exercising. But those who need extra motivation should consider the added benefits to their prostates and sexuality, reports the May 2007 issue of Harvard Men’s Health Watch.

A 2006 study from Sweden reported that regular exercise is associated with a reduced risk of moderate and severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). After taking other risk factors into account, the most active men were 28% less likely to have substantial lower urinary tract symptoms than the least active men. The Harvard Men’s Health Watch notes that the effect of exercise on prostate cancer is less clear. Some studies suggest that exercise can reduce risk, while others do not.

Although erectile dysfunction is not life-threatening, it can surely impair quality of life. A Harvard study linked regular exercise to a 41% reduction in the risk of erectile dysfunction — all it took was about 30 minutes of walking a day. And in 2004, a randomized clinical trial reported that moderate exercise (averaging less than 28 minutes a day) can help restore sexual performance in obese, middle-aged men with erectile dysfunction.

BOSTON — For about 10 years, the Framingham risk score has been used to estimate a person’s chances of having a heart attack based on just six bits of information — age, sex, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, smoking status, and systolic blood pressure. Doctors know what to recommend for people whose scores indicate high or low risk. But it’s less clear what to do with those in the middle.

Over the years, researchers have experimented with adding additional risk factors to the formula to try to narrow the grey zone of mid-range results. Now, after testing three dozen separate risk factors, Harvard researchers have found that adding just two — a measurement of C-reactive protein and whether a parent had a heart attack before age 60—to the Framingham model made the resulting predictions even more accurate, reports the May 2007 issue of the Harvard Heart Letter.

Based on information collected from more than 24,000 women for more than a decade, the researchers created a new tool called the Reynolds risk score. When used on the study group, the Reynolds risk score did as well as the Framingham risk score for women at high and low risk. For those in between, it was better. The new model reclassified almost half of these women into high-risk and low-risk groups. The new assignments, done by computer, corresponded almost perfectly to what actually happened to these women over the next 10 years.

The team is now checking to see if the new risk tool works as well for men. The researchers have posted it at www.reynoldsriskscore.org for anyone to try.
