Association between inflammation indicators (MLR, NLR, SII, SIRI, and AISI) and erectile dysfunction in US adults: NHANES 2001-2004.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to assess the relationship between multiple indicators of inflammation and erectile dysfunction through an analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). This represents the first large-scale, cross-sectional investigation that explores this association by jointly analyzing various inflammatory markers.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional analysis with NHANES data from 2001 to 2004. Erectile dysfunction (ED) was evaluated through a self-reported questionnaire and testosterone levels, while inflammatory markers were derived from standard blood test parameters. Our approach included multivariate logistic regression, subgroup analyses, generalized additive modeling (GAM), and smoothed curve fitting to evaluate
