The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between physical activity level and physical fitness with erectile dysfunction in men aged 40-75 years. We examined 180 men aged 40-75 years. The individuals were evaluated for age, presence of dyslipidemia and smoking and for anthropometric parameters for the characterization of body mass index. For assessing the level of physical fitness, a test was performed to measure the indirect maximum oxygen consumption. The evaluation of erectile function was made by the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire and assessment of physical activity level by the International Physical Activity questionnaire in its short version. This study showed that younger men with higher physical activity and better physical fitness are less likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Multivariable analysis through logistic regression showed that age (odds ratio (OD)=1.15; 95% confidence interval (95% CI)=1.07-1.23), physical activity (OD=10.38; 95% CI=3.94-27.39) and physical fitness (OD=4.62; 95% CI=1.75-12.25) were independent variables associated with erectile dysfunction. This study reinforces the concept that healthy habits have a direct effect on erectile function.
本研究旨在评估 40-75 岁男性的体力活动水平和体能与勃起功能障碍之间的关联。我们检查了 180 名 40-75 岁的男性。评估了年龄、血脂异常和吸烟情况以及身体质量指数的人体测量参数。为了评估体能水平，进行了间接最大耗氧量测试。通过国际勃起功能指数问卷评估勃起功能，通过国际体力活动问卷短版评估体力活动水平。本研究表明，体力活动水平较高、体能较好的年轻男性发生勃起功能障碍的可能性较低。通过逻辑回归多变量分析显示，年龄（比值比（OR）=1.15；95%置信区间（95%CI）=1.07-1.23）、体力活动（OR=10.38；95%CI=3.94-27.39）和体能（OR=4.62；95%CI=1.75-12.25）是与勃起功能障碍相关的独立变量。本研究进一步证实了健康习惯对勃起功能具有直接影响的概念。
