Obesity as a predictor of adverse outcome across black and white race

Across multiple studies, obesity has been associated with an increased risk of higher grade disease and prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). Whether these associations vary by race is unknown. In the current study, the authors examined the association between obesity and outcome after RP stratified by race.
