“…This finding is consistent with other studies. 10 Hence, in the authors' view, the ED 'EF confidence' approach will yield the most realistic prevalence rates of erectile dysfunction. However, none of the studies mentioned above considered DSM-IV criteria when determining prevalence of ED.…”

“…However, the prevalence rates found in these studies have varied widely. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The first epidemiological study of male sexual behavior was published in 1948 by Kinsey et al 11 They recruited a total of 15 781 men up to 80 years of age and found a prevalence of erectile dysfunction ranging from o1% for young men to 80% in the uppermost age group. The Massachusetts Male Aging Study, a community-based observational study of a random sample of men between 40 and 70 years of age, showed a 52% overall prevalence rate for impotence.…”

The comparison of results of previous studies on the prevalence of erectile dysfunction is hampered due to differences in study design and research instruments including definitions used. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of erectile dysfunction/erectile disorder (ED) using different definitions.An epidemiological cross-sectional study was conducted between May and November 2002 in Berlin, Germany. A total of 6000 men between 40 and 79 years of age were randomly selected by the Berlin Office of Vital Statistics and were sent a questionnaire by mail. The prevalence of ED was determined using five different methods. A total of 1915 questionnaires were eligible for analysis. The five different definitions yielded age-adjusted ED prevalence rates between 18 and 48%. Age was strongly correlated with all five definitions (Po0.001). These results indicate the need for standardized criteria when conducting future studies on ED and may aid in designing public health and clinical management strategies.

“…Although there are a number of methodological differences between the various studies, such as the age range of the men included in the analyses and the definition of dysfunction that was applied, we have attempted to compare the estimates of prevalence of sexual dysfunction in GSSAB surveys with those reported in the literature (most published studies report only erectile dysfunction), including the US, 3,6,8,9 Australia, 17,18 Brazil, [19][20][21] Germany, 22 Italy, 20,23 Thailand, 24 Spain, 25 the UK, 4,26 Malaysia, 20 Japan, 20 Morocco, 27 Mexico, 28 Korea, 29 and other countries and subpopulations. 2,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] The ageadjusted estimates of prevalence of erectile dysfunction in GSSAB ranged from 13 to 28% across the seven regions. Similar estimates have been reported in studies conducted in Australia, 18 Brazil, 19 Egypt, 30 France, 31 Germany, 22 Netherlands, 32 Spain, 2 and UK.…”

Sexual problems among women and men aged 40–80 y: prevalence and correlates identified in the Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors

et al. 2004

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors (GSSAB) is an international survey of various aspects of sex and relationships among adults aged 40-80 y. An analysis of GSSAB data was performed to estimate the prevalence and correlates of sexual problems in 13 882 women and 13 618 men from 29 countries. The overall response rate was modest; however, the estimates of prevalence of sexual problems are comparable with published values. Several factors consistently elevated the likelihood of sexual problems. Age was an important correlate of lubrication difficulties among women and of several sexual problems, including a lack of interest in sex, the inability to reach orgasm, and erectile difficulties among men. We conclude that sexual difficulties are relatively common among mature adults throughout the world. Sexual problems tend to be more associated with physical health and aging among men than women.

“…Over the last decade, many studies have investigated the prevalence of sexual problems among middle-aged and elderly people. Most of these studies have involved the populations of industrially developed nations around the world, particularly in Europe, [1][2][3] and in the Americas. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The prevalence of the male sexual problems of erectile dysfunction and early ejaculation and their related risk factors have been investigated most extensively, whereas fewer studies have focused specifically on female sexual dysfunction.…”

A population-based survey of sexual activity, sexual problems and associated help-seeking behavior patterns in mature adults in the United States of America

To study sexual activity, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and related help-seeking behaviors among mature adults in the United States of America, a telephone survey was conducted in [2001][2002]. A total of 1491 individuals (742 men/749 women) aged 40-80 years completed the survey. Overall, 79.4% of men and 69.3% of women had engaged in sexual intercourse during the 12 months preceding the interview. Early ejaculation (26.2%) and erectile difficulties (22.5%) were the most common male sexual problems. A lack of sexual interest (33.2%) and lubrication difficulties (21.5%) were the most common female sexual problems. Less than 25% of men and women with a sexual problem had sought help for their sexual problem(s) from a health professional. Many men and women in the United States report continued sexual interest and activity into middle age and beyond. Although a number of sexual problems are highly prevalent, few people seek medical help.
