benign prostate hyperplasia also affects the OAB score, especially at older ages. In addition, QIDS-J is just one of the measures to evaluate the status of depression; however, it does not always represent a clinical diagnosis. The present results showed that 286 (56.2%) individuals showed no depression, whereas the other 223 (43.8%) individuals showed a QIDS-J score of ≥6. However, not all individuals showed depression. The findings of the present study simply suggested the QIDS-J score and OAB status. Thus, further studies are required to confirm the effect of depression. Despite this limitation, a correlation between the QIDS-J and OAB was observed in Japanese individuals, suggesting that depression affects urinary symptoms.
