Recent statistics on erectile dysfunction indicate that the prevalence of ED increase as men age, rising rapidly after age 50, with about 18.4 percent of all men reporting being "sometimes" or "never" able to get and keep an erection.

These statistics on erectile dysfunction are based upon new research sponsored by the National Institute of Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

The findings, the result of work led by Christopher Saigal, M.D., Ph.D., at the University of California, Los Angeles' David Geffen School Of Medicine, showed that about 6.5 percent of men between the ages of 20 and 29 reported ED. That number rose to 77.5 percent of men aged 75 years and older.

"The burden of ED on the U.S. population is significant," wrote the study authors in the January 23, 2006 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, where they called for physicians to modify behaviors that influence risk factors - including diabetes, obesity, and smoking - all linked to ED.

PEOPLE WITH DIABETES AT RISK

The statistics on erectile dysfunction further indicated that patients with diabetes are almost three times as likely to report ED as those without the condition. Men with obesity are 1.6 times as likely to acknowledge trouble as non-obese men.

Men with high blood pressure have an ED prevalence 1.6 times that of those without high blood pressure. Smoking and heart diseases are also linked to higher ED rates.

The research of these statistics on erectile dysfunction is part of the Urologic Diseases in America Project, an ongoing effort to quantify the burden of select diseases on the U.S. population.

Though past studies have assessed ED prevalence in select groups of men, the new findings offer a broad look at the extent of the problem.

Researchers of statistics on erectile dysfunction examined data gathered during the 2001-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, where 2,126 men answered a question regarding their "ability to get and keep an erection adequate for satisfactory intercourse."

In addition, the researchers found that Hispanic/Latino men had nearly twice the rate of ED as their Caucasian and African American peers, a finding that was driven by especially high ED rates in Hispanic/Latino men younger than 50.

The researchers, hypothesized that the higher than average risk may be driven by more severe health problems or by differences in the way Hispanics/Latinos interpreted the survey question.
