Background and Aims: The incidence of adrenal incidentaloma(AI) has been rising sharply due to the increased use of radiologic imaging. It shows evident variation with age, with the majority of the cases presenting in the 5th to 7th decade of life. This study aims to assess the prevalence of AI and its radiological features and hormonal profiles in the geriatric population.Patients and Method: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study including 177 ...

Background and Aims: Numerous studies have suggested that metabolic syndrome (MetS) is related to adrenal incidentaloma (AI) in young adults. Limited data about MetS in geriatric patients diagnosed with AI are available, despite the high incidence of this adrenal disease in the elderly. This study aims to assess the prevalence of MetS and its associated factors in aged patients harboring AI.Patients and Method: We conducted a retrospective, comparative, ...

Background and Aims: Growing scientific evidence supports the hypothesis of an increased cardiometabolic risk in patients harboring adrenal incidentalomas (AI). This risk would be higher in aging populations and patients with functioning adenomas. The current study aims to determine the clinical and biochemical characteristics of metabloic syndrome(MetS) and assess its prevalence in older patients with AI.Patients and Method: We conducted a retrospective...

Background and Aims: Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the most common comorbidities in the elderly. The association of adrenal incidentaloma (AI) with AH in older patients may influence the clinical and therapeutic outcomes of the latter condition. In the current study, we aimed to assess the prevalence of AH and its clinical and therapeutic features in geriatric patients bearing AI.Patients and Method: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study ...

Background and Aims: Lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunctions are highly prevalent, especially in women. Diabetes is a well-established risk factor for developing LUT symptoms. Several studies suggest that a high body mass index (BMI) may worsen the urinary discomfort in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The current survey aims to investigate the relationship between obesity and LUT dysfunctions in patients with T2DM.Patients and Method: We conducted a...

Background and aims: Lower urinary tract (LUT) symptoms are one of the most common complications related to autonomous diabetic neuropathy. It is responsible for several dysfunctions due to distended bladder with a high risk of contracting retention. The current survey aims to assess the clinical manifestations of neurogenic bladder dysfunction (NBD) and determine its prevalence in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Patients and method: We conducted a ...
