  1. Associated with multiple factors, including frequent UTIs
  2. Thought to occur because of declining testosterone levels
  3. Rare until the seventh decade of life
  4. Responsible for the symptoms such as weak urinary stream and that the size of the prostate gland directly correlates to the severity of the symptoms.
Explanation
Answer - B - The only known risk factor for BPH is aging. It is estimated that over 50% of men over the age of 50 will develop BPH, with the incidence increasing in age. Prostate size correlates poorly with symptoms.
