Artigo Blue November Campaign as an annual male self-care strategy for healthy aging(Taylor & Francis Group, 2019) Medeiros, Paulo José de; Espósito, Regina Carmen; Dantas Junior, José Hipólito; Oliveira, Antônio Gouveia; Moreira, Sueli Aparecida; Sales, Valéria Soraya de FariasMen ignore self-care, displaying low frequency in health services. Aging increases the prevalence of LUTS and BPE, impacting the quality of life. The objective is to understand how the advancement of age can be determinant for men’s health in Natal, Brazil. Then, 503 men aged between 43 and 83 attended the Blue November Campaign of 2015. All subjects were submitted to anamnesis, clinical and laboratorial evaluation including measuring their blood pressure, waist circumference, glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides and BMI was calculated. In addition, IPSS, PSA, IIEF-5 and DRE data were collected. The mean IPSS presented an increase with age, 43–59 years (6.28 ± 6.02) and 70–80 years or more (8.65 ± 5.80). PSA dosages increase with aging (adult group 1.63 ± 2.70), being more accentuated in the older group (4.66 ± 5.70), while the mean IIFE-5 showed a decrease with aging in 43–59 years (21.79 ± 4.67) and an important decrease at 70–80 years or more (16.24 ± 6.71). The number of DRE > 30 g showed significant growth in the older group. All presented statistical significance (p < .05) and were associated with aging. The Blue November Campaign creates an annual self-care opportunity for aging men as their health is gradually affected.
