Do Race and Ethnicity Play a Role in Erectile Dysfunction?
There are some interesting studies out there about erectile dysfunction that you need to take into consideration. One of them was recently published by The Journal of Sexual Medicine. It suggests that race and ethnicity are involved in the levels of ED out there. It is the highest in the USA which is due to the diet of many men, obesity, and even high blood pressure.
Hispanic, African American, and Caucasian males in the USA are all affected at the highest rates with erectile dysfunction. The study shows that white males over the age of 70 have the highest rates of erectile dysfunction. They also tend to be the highest rate of males with diabetes. African American Males of the same age have a significantly lower rate of ED.
With the Hispanic population, males around the age of 60 are the most likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. They are also those most likely to suffer from chronic urinary tract infections and high blood pressure. Hispanic males are also the most likely to suffer from depression related to erectile dysfunction. African American men that were a healthy weight and that exercised daily were at the lowest risk.
There are still plenty more variables though that have to be explored in terms of race and ethnicity related to erectile dysfunction. There are more studies though headed in this particular direction. The goal of such studies involves being able to offer results based on isolating each of those variables for each ethnic group.
The fact though is that all men have a good chance of experiencing erectile dysfunction. It is important to take care of the body as much as possible from a very early age. Don't wait until there are significant risk factors in place before you decide to make some serious changes to your lifestyle.
Eating right, exercising daily, controlling blood pressure, controlling cholesterol, and reducing stress are all places to start. Don't get overwhelmed by trying to change in all areas at once. Assess what your biggest challenge is and tackle it first. Then add something else so that you can create a plan of action you will be successful with.
