This study assesses the prevalence of erectile dysfunction as well as its risk factors.
This is a descriptive cross-sectional study among 650 adult males, aged between 18 and 70 years selected by multi-stage sampling technique. Data were obtained from respondents selected from 4 wards in Olorunda local government area of Osogbo in Osun state, Southwest, Nigeria, using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaires.
Majority of the respondents were between ages 20-29 years with mean age of 33.6 ± 13.4 years. Most of the respondents [547(91.2%)] were aware of ED and 63.4% of them said it can be treated. The prevalence of ED was 43.8% and factors such as increasing age (p=0.00), hypertension (p=0.000), diabetes mellitus (p=0.000), perineal surgery (p=0.000), alcohol consumption (p=0.000), and smoking (p=0.000) were found to be significantly associated with developing ED.
The level of awareness about erectile dysfunction was high among respondents and the prevalence from this study was 43.8%. Factors associated with ED from this study included increasing age, alcohol consumption, hypertension, perineal injury and surgery. Hence, the risk of developing ED can be significantly reduced by educating men about life style modifications such as reduction in alcohol intake and smoking, as well as regular exercises.
本研究评估勃起功能障碍的患病率及其风险因素。
这是一项描述性横断面研究，通过多阶段抽样技术选取了650名年龄在18至70岁之间的成年男性。数据通过使用预先测试的半结构化问卷，从尼日利亚西南部奥孙州奥索博市奥洛伦达地方政府区域的4个病房中选取的受访者处获得。
大多数受访者年龄在20 - 29岁之间，平均年龄为33.6 ± 13.4岁。大多数受访者[547(91.2%)]知晓勃起功能障碍，其中63.4%的人表示它可以治疗。勃起功能障碍的患病率为43.8%，年龄增长（p = 0.00）、高血压（p = 0.000）、糖尿病（p = 0.000）、会阴手术（p = 0.000）、饮酒（p = 0.000）和吸烟（p = 0.000）等因素被发现与勃起功能障碍的发生显著相关。
受访者对勃起功能障碍的知晓程度较高，本研究中的患病率为43.8%。本研究中与勃起功能障碍相关的因素包括年龄增长、饮酒、高血压、会阴损伤和手术。因此，通过教育男性进行生活方式的改变，如减少饮酒和吸烟以及定期锻炼，可以显著降低发生勃起功能障碍的风险。
