Study Type - Prevalence (inception cohort) Level of Evidence 1b What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Certain antihypertensives, particularly diuretics and calcium channel blockers, are known to be associated with increased risk of LUTS including nocturia, but little is known about gender-specific effects. This is the first epidemiological study, to our knowledge, to compare the prevalence of several urological symptoms (storage, voiding and nocturia) among male and female users of a wide variety of common antihypertensives using a community-based sample.
