Age-related differences of serum total testosterone and psychological factors in patients with erectile dysfunction
Age-stratified results demonstrate a pronounced differential impact of TT and psychological factors on ED. Compared with younger patients, serum TT has more significant effects on elderly patients with ED. For young ED patients, the influences of psychological factors are significantly higher than that of elderly patients, and young patients show more severe anxiety and depression.
