An analysis of prevalence and associated common risk factors of ED and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was performed in Russian Federation by cross-sectional multicenter survey. International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) score and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) were used for data collection in 1225 men between 20 and 77 years interviewed in six regions of Russian Federation.
In addition, each participant's social, demographic, lifestyle, sexual and medical history was taken with special emphasis on risk factors for ED. Upon the basis of IIEF erectile domain score interpretation, ED was found in 530 (48. 9%) men, consisting of mild and mild to moderate, moderate and severe ED in 375 (34. 6%), 78 (7. 2%) and 77 (7. 1%) respondents, respectively. According to IPSS assessment, LUTSs were present in 649 (59. 9%) responders; inclusive 370 (34. 2%), 216 (19. 9%) and 63 (5. 8%) men with mild, moderate and severe LUTS, respectively. Men with both ED and LUTS shared common co-morbidities and lifestyle risk factors with age-adjusted odds ratio between 1. 2 and 5. 2. In logistic regression model (R(2)=0. 361), the strongest associated with ED factor found was IPSS symptom score, followed by hypertension, IPSS-related quality of life, age, diabetes mellitus, obesity and unmotivated fatigue.
