Association between different insulin resistance surrogates and erectile dysfunction in non-diabetic men: a large population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although it is widely recognized that insulin resistance (IR) plays a critical role in the development of erectile dysfunction (ED), the specific relationship between IR and ED among non-diabetics has been little studied, and no relevant large-scale studies have been conducted. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between different IR surrogates and the risk of ED in non-diabetic populations.

Methods

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2004 data were used for this cross-sectional analysis. Weighted multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline curves (RCS) were performed to evaluate the relationship between homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR), triglyceride glucose (TyG), TyG with body mass index (TyG
