Inpatients with BPH were recruited from the urology department as the research subjects; all were aged 60 years or older. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) were used to assess subclinical depression, sleep quality, and the severity of LUTS/BPH. The patients were divided into mild and moderate-to-severe groups based on IPSS scores. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between subclinical depression and LUTS/BPH severity. The mediating role of sleep quality was examined through a Structural Equation Model.Results: 806 participants were included in this study, with 218 in the mild group and 588 in the moderate-to-severe group. Results showed significantly higher PHQ-9 and PSQI scores in the moderate-to-severe group compared with those in the mild group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that subclinical depression was significantly and positively correlated with increased severity of LUTS/BPH (OR:1.90, 95% CI:1.16– 3.11). Subgroup analysis indicated a stronger association between subclinical depression and LUTS/BPH severity among participants with poor sleep quality (OR: 2.95, 95% CI:1.12– 7.73). Mediation analysis showed that sleep quality partially mediated this relationship (β=0.006, P< 0.001).Conclusion: The study illustrates that subclinical depression can serve as a predictor of the severity of LUTS/BPH, with sleep partially mediating this relationship. Consequently, it is crucial to incorporate mental health assessment and intervention into the treatment plan when managing patients with LUTS/BPH.Keywords: subclinical depression, sleep quality, LUTS/BPH, mediating effect
