Abstract

Sexual function is a central part of a man’s identity, helping to define who he is, and how he feels about himself. It is also a key determinant of relationship health. Erectile dysfunction (ED) threatens all of this, and is thus an important topic in male health. Erectile dysfunction is common around the world, especially in older men. Risk factors for ED overlap significantly with those for cardiovascular disease and endothelial dysfunction, especially diabetes.
