- Abstract
Considering the distribution of PSA levels, we applied linear regression models to the natural-log-transformed PSA levels against the length of regular marijuana use, controlling for age and cigarette smoking status. Length of RMU was significantly associated with higher PSA levels in African Americans ( I P i = 0.008), with a 10-year increase in regular use associated with a 20.4% increase of total PSA levels from baseline (95% CI 5.0-38.1%). We designed a study to characterize regular marijuana use (RMU) and its association with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, a biomarker tested in men typically over the age of 50 to help screen prostate cancer [[2]-[4]] by analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
