“…Five items were selected from the IIEF-5 and were based on ability to identify the presence or absence of ED and on adherence to the National Institute of Health's definition of ED over the previous month. ED was classified as normal (22)(23)(24)(25), mild (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21), moderate (8)(9)(10)(11) and severe (5-7) based on the answers to the five questions.…”

“…This screening tool has been well-validated and highly recognized in worldwide community studies on depression. [19][20][21] Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), 22 with prostate symptoms classified as absent or mild (IPSS <7), moderate (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), or severe (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). Smokers were classified as former or current smokers that included men who smoked cigarettes, cigars or pipes.…”

Aim:To evaluate the correlates of erectile dysfunction (ED) in Hong Kong middle-aged Chinese men aged 45-64 years. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional household survey was performed in Hong Kong. The Chinese abridged version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) was used to measure erectile function. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was used to measure lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and depressive symptoms were mesured by the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Demographic and lifestyle data were also collected. The association between ED and its correlates was analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Of the 545 subjects who agreed to participate in the survey, 75 refused to answer questions about their sexual activities and function. Out of those who responded, 118 (22%) subjects were not sexually active (not sexually active over the past 4 weeks). Out of 352 subjects, 60.3% suffered from some degree of ED. Age, presence of depression defined by CES-D and moderate LUTS were associated with increased odds of having ED. In multivariate analysis, depressive symptoms identified by CES-D (OR = 2.3, CI: 1.2-4.6) and moderate LUTS (OR = 3.7, CI: 1.6-8.3) were independently associated with increased odds of having ED. Conclusion: ED is an important public health problem in Chinese middle-aged men, with more than half suffering from some degree of ED. Depression and LUTS were significant and important risk factors associated with ED.

“…This questionnaire incorporated three standard psychometric instruments (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT), 11 Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) 12 and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-15) 13 ) that were validated in the Chinese language. Demographic data and smoking history were self-reported, and data regarding past illnesses and current medication were obtained from medical records.…”

This was a cross-sectional study that enrolled 160 men aged 50 and above who were sexually active (sexual intercourse in the preceding 6 months) from a large primary care treatment centre. The subjects of interest were elderly aged 65 and above, and men aged 50-65 were used for comparison. The overall response rate was 66.9%. The men who participated were generally more affluent. Standard of living was measured by the presence of maid and housing type. Erectile function (EF) score was significantly higher in those who hired maids (P ¼ 0.02). Housing type was not associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). In Model A (included both monthly income and education), significant non-parametric correlations were found between monthly income and EF, intercourse satisfaction (IS), orgasmic function (OF) and sexual desire (SD) domains. After statistical adjustments, only EF (Po0.01) and IS (P ¼ 0.04) remained positively associated with monthly income. OF was negatively associated with age (Po0.01) and diabetes (P ¼ 0.04), whereas SD was negatively associated with age (Po0.01) in the multivariate analysis. Overall satisfaction was not significantly associated with any factor. In Model B (excluded monthly income from analysis), education attainment was positively associated with OF (P ¼ 0.04), but was not significant after adjustment for multiple testing. In the final multivariate model, only monthly income (Po0.01) and age (Po0.01), but not education (P ¼ 0.47), remained significantly associated with EF. This study suggests the influence of social determinants on EF and that this influence can extend into late life.
