I have been told that the recommended age to get the prostate checked, is 40 years old. What is the significance of that age? Is is just random? Is it that studies and current evidence show that problems with the prostate tend to show up at 40, but not earlier?

the prostate is a walnut sized gland that encircled the urethra, the tube through which urine passes. This gland produces the seminal fluid, it forms most of the ejaculation. They don't know the exact reason, but there is evidence that a high-fat diet may play a role in promoting it's development. Recurring prostate infections and a genetic predisposition to prostate cancer are also possible factors. When a man reaches middle age, it often starts growing. It appears to be mainly caused by hormonal changes associated with aging.
