Erectile Dysfunction and Aging
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a significant concern for many men, with 30 million Americans affected. Its prevalence increases with age; approximately 40% of men at age 40 and 70% at age 70 experience ED symptoms. Interestingly, recent studies indicate that one in four men under 40 also faces this issue, which reflects a troubling trend among younger populations. Factors contributing to ED include obesity, which is linked to lower testosterone levels, as well as emotional health and relationship quality.
