| Method |
Primary source [43] abstract: "One thousand male volunteers were randomly recruited from the Shanghai community, and the length, width, height, volume of the transition zone (TZ) and the whole prostates were measured by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). Each volunteer was evaluated by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)." Primary source [44] abstract: "In a community-based study, prostate volume was determined at baseline and after 2.1 and 4.2 years in men without prostate cancer. A bivariate multilevel growth curve model was used to estimate the pattern of change of prostate volume with age." |

Supplementary Materials p.3 6th paragraph: "The human prostate has a weight that increases with age: 28.2 g in 40-49 year old individuals, 30.8 g in 50-59 year old individuals, 35 g in 60-70 year old individuals (primary source 43), and 46.2 g in those older than 75 years (primary source 44)." |
