Aging male populations will face increased out-of-pocket healthcare costs for preventive screenings, treatments, and management of prostate conditions. Quality of life impacts (urinary symptoms) may reduce productivity and increase healthcare utilization. Households with elderly men will experience higher healthcare expenditures.

Public health campaigns on early detection and lifestyle prevention (diet, exercise) may be implemented. Healthcare systems should prepare for increased demand in geriatric urology services.
