Diabetic Men Above Age 50 Face Higher Risk Of Erectile Dysfunction

Diabetic men over 50 years of age are more likely to experience erectile dysfunction than are non-diabetics.

 C. G. Bacon, at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States, and colleagues studied the association between diabetes and erectile problems among a cohort of 2000 men selected from the more than 31,000 men aged 53 to 90 years in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study.

Subjects were mailed a questionnaire that asked about their ability to achieve an erection sufficient for intercourse, without treatment. Those reporting poor or very poor function were considered to have erectile dysfunction. The subjects’ diabetes status was determined by questionnaire and then documented with supplementary medical data, the researchers said.
