Implication

Systematic review reports high global prevalence of erectile dysfunction in men, highlighting age and comorbidities as key factors.

Key Points

  • The aim is to synthesize the global prevalence rates of erectile dysfunction and identify patterns by age and region.
  • Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines, including observational studies from 2010–2024.
  • Data sources include multiple databases without language restrictions, searching for publications on ED prevalence.
  • Data extraction involved gathering prevalence rates, definitions of ED, and demographic breakdowns.
  • ED affects approximately 20% to 50% of adult men globally, with prevalence rates varying widely due to methodological differences.
  • Age is a significant factor; less than 10% of men under 40 experience ED, while over 50% of men above 70 do.
  • Projected cases of ED may exceed 300 million by 2025, reflecting a public health concern.
