Background and aims: Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is more common in diabetic men and, unfortunately, occurs at an earlier age in diabetic patients when compared with the general population. The study aims to evaluate the independent predictors of ED in adult men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) at a tertiary care center of South India. Methods: A total of 720 men aged 30-70 years who had been diagnosed with type 2 DM were enrolled for the study from January 2017 to January 2020 from the outpatient diabetes clinic of the Hospital. All patients completed the abridged version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the patients was (58.4 7.8 years). 68.6% of subjects had varying degrees of erectile dysfunction, of which 54.6% had moderate to severe ED. 55.8% had poor glycemic control (HbAlc >= 7%). Subjects with ED had a longer duration of DM than those without ED (mean DM duration was 8.1 +/- 4.9 years versus 4.4 +/- 3.5 years; p < 0.001). Longer duration of DM, poor glycemic control, hypertension, peripheral arterial disease, testosterone deficiency were all independent predictors ED (p < 0.05). Conclusions: A high incidence of erectile dysfunction was observed in type 2 DM patients attending the diabetic clinic, and over half of the people affected were of moderate-to-severe in intensity. Poor glycemic control, testosterone deficiency, peripheral arterial disease were the modifiable risk factors for ED in diabetic subjects. At the same time, a longer duration of type 2 DM was noticed as a glaring nonmodifiable risk factor, according to our study. (C) 2020 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
