Background: Overweight and obesity have been related with low Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA); these low levels are due to a bigger plasmatic volume in this population. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to study the association between BMI and PSA levels. Methods: Three data bases were researched until December 2016, Scopus, PubMed, and Lilacs, using the key words: Prostate-Specific-Antigen, Body Mass Index, Obesity, Humans. We studied healthy male, over 40 years, and with BMI values not older than one month previous the PSA test. Results: 13 studies were used, including cohorts and cross-sectional studies (n=89 942). Overweight and obesity were associated with lower PSA levels compared to eutrophic patients (CC= -0.08; 95%CI -0.11, -0.04; p<0.0001) However, this association was not observed in Nigerian population. Discussion: The inversely proportional relation between BMI and PSA levels was associated with older adults, nevertheless was independent from the race because the association was not observed in Nigerian population. Conclusion: The results of 12 studies supports the literature found about the inversely proportional relation between BMI and PSA levels.
