Association between the inflammatory burden index and erectile dysfunction: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES 2001–2004
Our NHANES database analysis demonstrated a significant positive association between IBI and ED. IBI exhibited superior predictive capability for ED compared to established inflammatory markers. These findings suggest IBI's potential utility in clinical settings for identifying individuals at elevated ED risk. However, clinical implementation should be considered exploratory pending validation in diverse prospective populations.
