Abstract in brief

  • The study found that the worldwide prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) is approximately 37.65%, increasing with age, and is linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and dementia.
  • Men with ED are more likely to face serious health issues, including a 1.26 times greater risk of all-cause mortality and a 1.43 times higher risk of death from CVD, along with being more prone to BPH and dementia.
  • Variability in ED screening tools affects prevalence data, with non-validated questionnaires possibly underestimating the condition; overall, ED poses a significant societal burden due to its high prevalence and health risks.]

@EwaPancake @ZeekArkham @pearlythingz Wrong... That's US statistics & I'd hardly call Americans the healthy group. World statistics vary widely between 3 - 76% prevalence. Even with age it's far more prevalent in the unhealthy i.e. those who are fat / obese / diabetic / etc. https://t.co/7SqzZJ6fVX

One 2018 review* estimated that ED affects about 1/3 of men. And a 2019 review** found that the global prevalence of ED ranges between 3% and 76.5%. Pelvic physical therapy may be able to help without the need for medication. * https://t.co/xLpfHkdjUz ** https://t.co/2Aij9eXWYz https://t.co/fjQMK4gKBT
