Among older men, moderate and severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are associated with increased fall risk compared to mild LUTS. Falls are a major risk factor for fractures. Therefore, we assessed associations of LUTS with fracture risk in community dwelling U.S. men aged 65 years or older. We conducted a prospective study in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) cohort. Men were enrolled at six U.S. sites. The American Urological Association Symptom Index (AUA-SI), LUTS medication use, fracture risk factors and potential confounders were recorded at baseline and every two years thereafter for a total of four assessments. LUTS severity was categorized from the AUA-SI as mild (0–7 points), moderate (8–19 points), or severe (≥20 points). Associations of LUTS severity with fracture rate were estimated with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) from extended proportional hazards regression. Among 5,989 men with baseline AUA-SI score and hip bone mineral density (BMD) measures, 745 incident non-spine fractures occurred during 43,807 person-years of follow-up. In a multivariable model adjusted for age, enrollment site, baseline hip BMD, falls in the past year, and prevalent fracture before baseline, there were no significant associations of moderate (HR 0.9, 95% CI 0.8–1.1) or severe (HR 1.0, 95% CI 0.8–1.3) LUTS with fracture risk. None of the individual LUTS assessed on the AUA-SI including nocturia and urgency was associated with increased fracture risk. In this cohort of older US men, LUTS were not independently associated with fracture risk.
