需要一种简洁、可靠的方法来评估勃起功能障碍（艾德）的大型、多学科人群研究。在马萨诸塞州男性老龄化研究（MR IAS）的人群样本中，对自我评估的艾德进行了单一、直接的问题评估。在1995- 1997年MMAS随访评估的1156名受访者中，随机选择505人完成国际勃起功能指数（IIEF）（n = 254）或简明男性性功能量表（BMSFI）（n = 251），以及单问题自我评估。因数据缺失而无法分类的比例为MMAS-9%，BMSFI-8%，IIEF-18%。单项问题与其他指标相关良好（r = 0.71-0.78，P < 0.001）。患病率与基于IIEF的患病率相似，一致性为中度（kappa = 0.56-0.58），并且与先前确定的风险因素的相关性对于每个分类都相似。因此，MMAS单一问题可能是基于人群的研究的实用工具，其中详细的艾德临床测量是不切实际的。
A concise, reliable means of assessing erectile dysfunction (ED) in large, multidisciplinary population-based studies is needed. A single, direct question for self-assessed ED was assessed in the population-based sample of the Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MR IAS). Of the 1156 respondents to the 1995-97 MMAS follow-up evaluation, 505 were randomly selected to complete either the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) (n = 254), or the Brief Male Sexual Function Inventory (BMSFI) (n = 251), in addition to the single question self-assessment. The proportion not classified due to missing data was MMAS -9%, BMSFI-8%, and IIEF-18%, The single question correlated well with these other measures (r = 0.71-0.78, P < 0.001). Prevalence was similar to that based on the IIEF, agreement was moderate (kappa = 0.56-0.58), and associations with previously identified risk factors were similar for each classification. Thus, the MMAS single question may he a practical tool for population-based studies where detailed clinical measures of ED are impractical.
