Abstract 1328 Dr. Varant Kupelian and associates reported at the recent American Urologic Association annual meeting the impact of sex hormones on erectile function as seen in the Massachusetts Male Aging Study.In this prospective population-based study of men ages 40-70 years at baseline, 1519 with complete information on erectile function and hormone measurements. There was no association between total testosterone and erectile function. After adjusting for potential confounders, no association was seen between erectile function and bioavailable testosterone or sex-hormone binding globulin. There was an increased risk of erectile dysfunction with higher luteinizing hormone levels. Consistent with other studies, there was no association between serum testosterone and erectile dysfunction Varant Kupelian, Ridwan Shabsigh, Stephanie Page, Thomas G Travison, Andre B Araujo, Amy B O'Donnell, William Bremner, John B McKinlay
