Abstract

Prostate sizes were obtained from a total of 113 subjects using ultrasound in a 12 months sampling period. Individuals with no apparent urinary disease symptoms and other debilitating diseases qualified for sampling. Result showed a direct relationship between the prostate size and ages of individuals sampled. The diameters, prostate length, transverse thickness and longitudinal thickness have statistically significant relationship with age (p<0.01). The standard deviation of the different age groups was found to vary markedly at age group 71-84 and 15-20.
