One in Five Men with New-Onset ED Have Prediabetes
Screening men with new-onset erectile dysfunction (ED) for prediabetes could be beneficial, new research suggests.
In a study of 372 men with new-onset ED, 23% met the criteria for a prediabetes diagnosis.
The men with prediabetes tended to be older, obese, and have more comorbid conditions than men with normal blood glucose levels.
They also had lower total testosterone levels and higher levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol.
