Objective:

To determine the association among the grade of severity of ED with factors of well-known risks, associates diseases, clinical, biochemical and hormonal parameters, assisted in the consultation of andrology of the National Institute of Endocrinology (INEN).

Method:

An observational descriptive study was performed, transversal, including 385 patients > 20 years, assisted among 2009-2012. Studied variables: clinical, anthropometrics, biochemical and hormonal. Statisticians: Quarter Chi Test and ANOVA.

Results:

The age stocking was 56, 85 ±8,2 years. The 82,9 % have ≥50 years and 95% suffered some chronic illness. It prevailed the moderate and severe grades of ED (45% and 39% respectively), the diuretics and IECAs were associated to ED (p=0,042) and (p=0,012). The consumption of alcohol was common (69, 9%). The corporal mass index, circumference of the waist, waist/hip index, glycemic, total cholesterol and triglycerides were increased when it was bigger the grade of severity of ED. The total testosterone was inversely associated with a statistical significance (p=0,005). The most frequent associates diseases were: Type 2 Diabetes (p <0,004), High Blood Pressure (p <0,007), Obesity (p <0,005) and Peyronie´s Disease (p <0,017). Conclusions: A directly proportional association between the grade of severity of ED and some risk factors and frequent chronic illnesses was found. This was inversely proportional to the values of total testosterone.
