More than 18 million American gentlemen suffer from erectile dysfunction, but assist may not expect a little pill.
A Modern study from Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of common Health displays nearly one in five men go through erectile dysfunction, but elementary lifestyle changes may be enough to ward off the trouble.
Erectile dysfunction was much more basic among men with diabetes or other risk factors for heart disease and those who were physically inactive, the investigators found.
“The connexions of erectile dysfunction with diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors may serve as powerful motivators for men who need to cause changes in their diet and lifestyle,” says researcher Elizabeth Selvin, PhD, MPH, of the section of epidemiology at the Bloomberg School of Public Health, in Baltimore, in a news show release.
ED Common Among American Men
In the study, investigators examined the preponderance of erectile dysfunction and its connection with other health troubles in a sample of more than 2,100 men, aged 20 and older, who took part in a nationwide survey in 2001-2002.
Investigators classified men who reported being “sometimes able” or “never able” to get and keep an erection as delivering erectile dysfunction.
The results showed 18.4% of men over 20 suffered from erectile dysfunction.
The problem was much more most common in older men, with 70% of men 70 or over coverage erectile problems, compared with 5% of men 20 to 40.
Healthy Lifestyle May Prevent ED
Apart from showing how general erectile dysfunction is, researchers say the results are important because they suggest simple modus vivendi changes like regular exercise and eating a healthy diet may ease the problem for many men by reducing the risk of heart disease and associated conditions.
The analyze showed that men with heart disease risk factors, diabetes, or a sedentary lifestyle were much more expected to report erectile dysfunction than healthier, more physically active men.
For example:
Nearly 90% of men with male erecticle dysfunction had at least one risk factor for heart disease, such that as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterin, smoking, or diabetes.
50% of men with diabetes reported erectile dysfunction.
Men with diabetes were three times more likely to have ED than men without diabetes, even after adjusting for other risk factors.
Men who were physically passive, such as those who hadn’t engaged in energetic physical activity for at least a month, were much more likely to have ED than men who were physically active.
Research worker* say the association between ED and lack of physical activity suggests lifestyle changes, especially increasing exercise levels, may be effective, drug-free ways to treat and prevent erectile dysfunction.
The results appear in the American Journal of Medicine.
