Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a novel indicator for the assessment of visceral obesity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between VAI and premature ejaculation (PE).
A total of 300 men were included in the study. Hundred and fifty men with PE and 150 men without PE (control). All men were evaluated for PE by premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT). VAI levels were calculated using body mass index (BMI), high density lipoprotein and triglyceride (TG) levels.
Mean age of the study groups was 34.3 ± 5.2 (30-60) years and the mean age of the controls were 35.9 ± 5.3 (30-60) years. The men with PE had lower BMI, TG levels, waist circumference (WC) and higher high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Mean VAI level was 4.13 ± 0.7 in study group and 5.72 ± 1.6 in control group, respectively. VAI levels were statistically higher in men without PE (p < .001).
Our cross-sectional study demonstrated a negative correlation between VAI and PE. VAI is superior index for the evaluation and calculation the relationship between obesity and PE.
内脏脂肪指数（VAI）是评估内脏肥胖的一种新指标。在本研究中，我们旨在评估VAI与早泄（PE）之间的关系。
本研究共纳入300名男性。其中150名患有PE的男性和150名未患PE的男性（对照组）。所有男性均通过早泄诊断工具（PEDT）进行PE评估。使用体重指数（BMI）、高密度脂蛋白和甘油三酯（TG）水平计算VAI水平。
研究组的平均年龄为34.3±5.2（30 - 60）岁，对照组的平均年龄为35.9±5.3（30 - 60）岁。患有PE的男性BMI、TG水平、腰围（WC）较低，高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL - C）水平较高。研究组的平均VAI水平分别为4.13±0.7，对照组为5.72±1.6。未患PE的男性VAI水平在统计学上更高（p <.001）。
我们的横断面研究表明VAI与PE之间存在负相关。VAI是评估和计算肥胖与PE之间关系的更佳指标。
