    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Endocrinology
    • Gerontology

    Background:

    • Erectile function is crucial for male sexual health.
    • Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are common comorbidities affecting aging populations.
    • Understanding the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in these groups is essential for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in diabetic, hypertensive, and healthy adult males.
    • To assess the impact of age on erectile function across different health statuses.
    • To investigate the relationship between hypertension, antihypertensive medications, and erectile disability.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional study involving 1,128 adult males aged 16-80+.
    • Erectile function assessed via direct questioning, defining success as achieving a 90-degree angle.

  • Comparison groups included diabetics (n=317), hypertensives (n=117), and controls (n=635).

    • Main Results:

    • Erectile dysfunction was significantly more prevalent in diabetic males compared to age-matched nondiabetics.
    • Hypertension showed a minimal association with erectile disability; antihypertensive drugs caused ED in only 2 patients.
    • Age negatively impacted erectile function in all participants, irrespective of diabetes or hypertension status.

    Conclusions:

    • Diabetes is a significant risk factor for erectile dysfunction in adult males.
    • Age is a universal factor contributing to erectile dysfunction.
    • Hypertension and its common treatments appear to have a limited direct impact on erectile function compared to diabetes.
