目的：流行病学资料表明，勃起功能障碍(ED)是世界范围内男性的一个重要问题。然而，土耳其男性的数据并不存在。这项研究旨在确定土耳其ED的患病率和社会人口学、医学和生活方式的相关性。方法：通过医生指导的访谈，使用有效的问卷收集信息。受访者对他们的ED自我评价为“无”、“轻微”、“中等”或“严重”。对1982名年龄大于或等于40岁的男性的分层随机抽样数据进行了双变量和多变量分析，以量化ED与潜在协变量之间的关系。结果：土耳其经年龄调整的总体ED患病率为69.2%(轻度33.2%，中度27.5%，重度8.5%)，并随着年龄的增加而增加，严重程度也是如此。当我们考虑中+重度ED病例时，患病率为36%。在多变量模型中，中度或重度勃起功能障碍患病率的增加与年龄、居住在土耳其东部、低教育水平、失业、或潜在的糖尿病、高血压、抑郁症、前列腺问题或下尿路症状显著相关。相反，居住在土耳其南部、饮酒、体力活动和较高的收入与发病率的下降显著相关。结论：40岁或40岁以上的土耳其男性中，勃起功能障碍的比例很高，与一些严重的疾病相关，并且随着年龄的增长，发病率增加。(C)2002 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
Objectives: Epidemiologic data indicate that erectile dysfunction (ED) is a significant problem among men worldwide. However, data do not exist for Turkish men. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and sociodemographic, medical, and lifestyle correlates of ED in Turkey.Methods: Information was gathered via physician-conducted interviews using a validated questionnaire. Respondents self-rated their ED as "none," "minimal," "moderate," or "severe". Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed on data from a stratified random sample of 1982 men aged greater than or equal to40 years to quantify the associations between ED and potential covariates.Results: The age-adjusted overall prevalence of ED in Turkey was 69.2% (mild 33.2%, moderate 27.5%, severe 8.5%) and increased with age, as did severity of ED. When we consider moderate + severe ED cases, the prevalence is 36%. In a multivariate model, increased prevalence of moderate or severe ED was significantly associated with age, residence in eastern Turkey; low educational level; unemployment; or underlying diabetes, hypertension, depression, prostate problems or lower urinary tract symptoms. Conversely, residence in southern Turkey, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and higher income were significantly associated with decreased prevalence.Conclusions: ED affects a high proportion of Turkish men aged greater than or equal to40 years, is correlated with a number of serious medical conditions and the frequency increases with age.
