| الوصف: | Aim: This study investigated the relationship between erectile dysfunction (ED) and adiponectin levels in hypogonadal men.Methods: In this study, 218 patients with hypogonadism (mean age: 65.1 ± 8.3 years) were enrolled. All patients underwent physical examinations, with measurement of body mass index, body fat ratio, and waist circumference. The erectile function was assessed using the sexual health inventory for men (SHIM) scoring system. Blood biochemical profiles such as free testosterone, fasting blood glucose, and lipid profile including adiponectin levels were measured. All patients were divided into two groups based on their SHIM score: normal to moderate ED (SHIM score ≥ 12) and severe ED (SHIM score < 12), and the factors associated with severe ED were determined. Patients with severe ED were divided into two groups based on adiponectin levels (cutoff value of 7.0 μg/mL), and their basic characteristics were compared between these two groups.Results: The severe ED group was older and had higher adiponectin levels. In patients with severe ED, various metabolic parameters were significantly worse in the low adiponectin groups than in the non-low adiponectin group.Conclusions: The risk of developing cardiovascular diseases is extremely high in hypogonadal men with severe ED who had lower serum adiponectin levels. |
