No, no typo. I just couldn&#39;t find a more recent study in a peer-reviewed journal, and I can&#39;t think of a good reason why things would have changed since then, so I included it. I suppose it&#39;s not really the type of statistic that researchers are queueing up to investigate again! I could instead have quoted Dr Henry Le&#39;Plattenier, who said in a recent article (reference below) that &quot;after five years of age, nearly all dogs have a degree of BPH&quot; - but without a reference, so I thought I would go with the study rather than expert opinion. In any case - I think the conclusion is - the majority of dogs over 5 are suffering - and they&#39;re not all being picked up - so I hope CPAM increases diagnosis!</p> <p>Chris</p> <p>Ref: <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.vetsonline.com/Recherche/Resultat/1317ec02474973f2bb6e50e72a139306/6">www.vetsonline.com/.../6</a></p> <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/aggbug?PostID=45528&AppID=5&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://www.vetsurgeon.org/b/veterinary-news/posts/45528Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:29:04 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:7128559f-4030-4c1d-bf7a-d9fa4a09e818Suzannah Stacey0<p>Are the company really using an article from 1962 for their stats, or is that a typo?</p> <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/aggbug?PostID=45528&AppID=5&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
