Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common among men with Diabetes mellitus (DM), with a negative impact on their sexual satisfaction. There is a paucity of data on this in our locality. Hence this study was to determine the quality of sexual life, its correlates and predictors among such men.
One hundred diabetic men with ED as well as 100 without ED were recruited consecutively. Questionnaires were used to collect relevant information and assess their quality of sexual life. This was followed by a focused physical examination and anthropometric measurements. Blood samples were collected for relevant investigations. Data analysis was with SPSS version 25 while p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.
Participants with ED had a mean IIEF-5 score of 11.97 ± 4.73 while those without ED had 24.06 ± 1.10 (p = 0.000). Among the DM participants with ED and those without ED, their mean SQoL-M scores were 44.14 ± 10.85% and 89.73 ± 16.23% respectively (p = 0.000). Correlation between SQoL-M scores and IIEF-5 scores showed (r = 0.374, p = 0.000) while that between SQoL-M scores and HbA1c showed (r = - 0.205, p = 0.040) in diabetic participants with ED. IIEF-5 scores and HbA1c levels were observed to be the only predictors of SQoL scores among diabetic participants with ED.
There is a significant difference in the quality of sexual life between diabetic men with ED and those without ED. While there is a positive correlation between SQoL-M and IIEF-5 scores, there is a negative correlation between SQoL-M scores and HbA1c levels among diabetic men with ED. IIEF-5 scores and HbA1c values are predictors of quality of sexual life among diabetic men with ED. Thus, there is a need for evaluation of quality of sexual life among diabetic men with ED.
勃起功能障碍（ED）在糖尿病（DM）男性中很常见，对他们的性满意度有负面影响。我们当地关于这方面的数据很少。因此，本研究旨在确定此类男性的性生活质量、其相关因素和预测因素。
连续招募了100名患有ED的糖尿病男性以及100名没有ED的糖尿病男性。使用问卷收集相关信息并评估他们的性生活质量。随后进行针对性的体格检查和人体测量。采集血样进行相关检查。使用SPSS 25版进行数据分析，p值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
患有ED的参与者IIEF-5平均得分为11.97±4.73，而没有ED的参与者为24.06±1.10（p = 0.000）。在患有ED和没有ED的糖尿病参与者中，他们的平均SQoL-M得分分别为44.14±10.85%和89.73±16.23%（p = 0.000）。在患有ED的糖尿病参与者中，SQoL-M得分与IIEF-5得分之间的相关性显示为（r = 0.374，p = 0.000），而SQoL-M得分与糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）之间的相关性显示为（r = - 0.205，p = 由于文本中“r = - 0.205, p = 0.040) in diabetic participants with ED.”这句话不完整，我按照完整的逻辑进行了翻译，你可以检查下是否符合你的需求。如果还有其他问题，欢迎继续向我提问。
患有ED的糖尿病男性与没有ED的糖尿病男性在性生活质量上存在显著差异。在患有ED的糖尿病男性中，虽然SQoL-M与IIEF-5得分呈正相关，但SQoL-M得分与HbA1c水平呈负相关。IIEF-5得分和HbA1c值是患有ED的糖尿病男性性生活质量的预测因素。因此，有必要对患有ED的糖尿病男性的性生活质量进行评估。
