There have been a limited number of epidemiological studies published on sexual disorders in persons from Asia. This paper aims to assess the reports of sexual dysfunction epidemiological studies published in the English language that involved Asian countries. Key points are summarized in this paper from nine epidemiological papers on sexual dysfunction from Asia that were published in the English language. Seven met the criteria for evidence-based studies reaching a Prins score of at least 10 or more. Papers included in this report came from national and regional representative studies in peer review journals. These results for sexual dysfunction in the nine papers are summarized for various sexual dysfunctions in men and women in Asian countries. In three of these, worldwide data were presented in the same paper allowing comparisons with Asian data on prevalence rates. Detailed descriptions from each of these studies are presented in paragraph form. More detailed data on erectile dysfunction (ED) is presented in a tabular form. Collectively, there seems to be a need for country- and population-specific further descriptive and analytical epidemiological studies in all of the sexual disorders from Asia. This critical review paper should help guide these studies for reaching evidence-based literature standards.
关于亚洲人群性障碍的流行病学研究数量有限。本文旨在评估已发表的英文亚洲国家性障碍流行病学研究报告。本文总结了来自亚洲的 9 篇英文性障碍流行病学研究报告的要点，其中 7 篇达到了循证研究标准（Prins 评分至少 10 分或以上）。报告中包含的文献来自同行评审期刊的全国性和区域性代表性研究。本文总结了 9 篇论文中各种亚洲国家男性和女性的性障碍结果。其中 3 篇论文在同一篇论文中报告了全球数据，可与亚洲患病率数据进行比较。对每一项研究都以段落形式进行了详细描述。更详细的勃起功能障碍 (ED) 数据以表格形式呈现。总的来说，亚洲所有性障碍都需要进一步进行针对国家和人群的描述性和分析性流行病学研究。本文的综述应该有助于指导这些研究达到循证文献标准。
