Abstract:
We hypothesized that erectile dysfunction is associated with impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance and could be used in primary screening of pre-diabetes. Although erectile dysfunction is known to be closely associated with diabetes, we demonstrate that it is not associated with pre-diabetes in 926 apparently healthy men.
