Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent condition among men, particularly
those with diabetes or conditions associated with metabolic syndromes.
This study aims to assess the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in men
participating in the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS)
and to identify potential predictors of ED within this population. Data
were analyzed from a cohort of men enrolled in DPPOS, which included
demographic information, medical histories, and erectile function
assessments. The study found that a significant proportion of men reported
ED and identified several predictors including age, body mass index (BMI),
and glycemic control. These results underline the importance of addressing
sexual health in the management of diabetes and related conditions.
