Study Considers ED Prevalence Rate in China
An estimated 40% of men over 40 in mainland China have some degree of erectile dysfunction (ED), according to a recent study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The rate was calculated using data from over 5,000 men living in 30 provinces and autonomies and is the first nationwide population-based study for this age group, the authors noted.
The study subjects did not constitute a random sample, however.
The findings showed that ED became more prevalent as men got older. It was also more common in men who smoked, had diabetes, were estranged from their spouse, or had lower urinary tract symptoms related to an enlarged prostate.
More details on the study, including other sexual dysfunctions reported by the men and the authors' thoughts on ED education in China, can be found here.
