Age Increase, Diabetes, Erectile Dysfunction
This is the first nationally representative cross-sectional study of ED among men ages 40 and older, with no upper age limit. It was designed to determine age-specific ED prevalence in black, white and Hispanic men, and to evaluate the associations between ED and other comorbidities.
The five-month study used a list-assisted, random-digit dialing design to obtain a nationally representative sample of in 134 non-Hispanic black, 491 non-Hispanic white and 195 Hispanic men. Computer-assisted telephone interviews collected non-sensitive information, such as demographics and medical history, while an automated telephone self-interview collected sensitive information on sexual habits.
The results showed that 49, 29, 14 and eight percent of men reported they were "always," "usually," "sometimes," or "never" able to keep a satisfactory erection for sexual intercourse, respectively. Those who answered "sometimes" or "never" were labeled as having ED.
Erectile dysfunction is a common problem - 22 percent of those interviewed reported having the condition," Carson said. "Although further testing is needed to more accurately determine the relationship between age, diabetes and erectile dysfunction, this study gives us a preview of what we will find."
