Association between social determinants of health and erectile dysfunction: insights from a nationally representative US sample
The findings suggest that unfavorable SDoHs, particularly when accumulated, are associated with increased risk of ED among U.S. men. Addressing unfavorable SDoHs should be a public health priority, not only to improve male sexual health, but also to promote health equity and overall population well-being. Large-scale population cohort studies are underway to provide higher-level evidence supporting our conclusions.
