Prevalence of erectile dysfunction and its correlates in Egypt: a community-based study

Abstract
We evaluated the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in a cross-sectional community-based random sample of Egyptian men. ED was correlated with the socioeconomic status, risk factors and quality of life. Married men in Ismailia province were interviewed at home. Data were processed for 805 men with mean age of 43.58 y (s.d. 11.03). There is a fair correlation between ED and increasing age (PPPPP<0.001). These results indicate that ED is a common problem among married Egyptian men.
