The Prevalence of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction affects men of all ages and has many different causes. According to the National Institutes of Health in 2002, an estimated 15 million to 30 million men in the United States experienced chronic erectile dysfunction. Chronic erectile dysfunction affects about 5% of men in their 40s and 15 - 25% of men by the age of 65. Transient erectile dysfunction and inadequate erections affect as many as 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 70.

The following are the most common causes of erectile dysfunction:

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Arteriosclerosis
• Depression
• Low testosterone levels

Being that many of the causes of ED are on the rise, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction is most likely going to rise as well.
