Objective: To determine the relation of the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) Sexual function questionnaire (SFQ) parameters in the groups of healthy (H) and type 1 diabetic (T1D) males and in groups of different ages and different centers of EMAS. Design and Method: The evaluation of EMAS SFQ of 204 persons: 82 H and 122 T1D patients was performed. The answers to the questions characterizing various domains of sexual activity were analyzed. Results: Results. Eight sexual parameters were counted. The ratio of H males (%) /40 - 49-year-old EMAS males (%) was above 1, except the frequency of erectile dysfunction which is very low in the group of H males and extremely high in the group of T1D males. The results were similar when the 50 - 59-year-old EMAS group was taken in comparison to H males. The H males group shows even more clear predominance while T1D males are similar to 50 - 59-year-old EMAS males. Comparing the results of H males and EMAS males from various centers the rarity of H erectile dysfunction and higher frequency of masturbation become apparent. Other parameters do not show difference in comparison to EMAS centers. Conclusions: Conclusions. The sexuality of H males is above the one of EMAS 40 - 49-year-old males, while the sexuality of T1D males is similar to the sexuality of EMAS 50 - 59-year-old males. The erectile dysfunction is rare and the frequency of masturbation is higher when H males are compared to the various ages EMAS males from different centers.

Introduction. Sexual function of type 1 diabetic (T1D) males vs. controls has been scarcely investigated. Investigation of reproductive health of young males was performed in 2003/2004 ("The Reproductive Function of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian Young Men" (ELLY)) (1) in the Baltic countries although questions regarding sexual function were not addressed specifically at that time. ELLY study participants were invited as controls for investigation of sexual function in T1D males. European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ) (2) was used for the evaluation of sexual function.

Adrenal incidentaloma is an adrenal tumor incidentally discovered in the region of adrenals, usually investigating for non endocrine disease. Most of these compounds are benign adrenal adenomas. We attempted to find out the current situation of adrenal incidentaloma in Lithuania.
