Erectile dysfunction is an important public health concern. It affects millions of men worldwide, and has a strong negative effect on self-esteem and self-confidence, happiness and well-being, personal relationships, satisfaction with sex life, and quality of life. Erectile dysfunction has recently been the focus of public attention due to the development of novel effective oral therapies. Epidemiological studies on the risk factors of erectile dysfunction are needed for developing prevention strategies. This book describes what is already known about the occurrence and major risk factors of erectile dysfunction and what Tampere Aging Male Urologic Study (TAMUS) adds to our knowledge. It focuses on the role of sociodemographicfactors, chronic diseases and lifestyle factors inthe occurrence of erectile dysfunction.
