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 less than or equal to 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.
