Description
Murat Sambel and co-authors ask whether blood fat ratios and a sugar based index can predict erectile dysfunction tied to vessel damage. Vessel hardening and insulin resistance both feed the condition, as the study notes. The paper appeared in 2023, per the text head.
The team compared 199 patients with the condition to 51 men without it, scored by a standard function survey. They computed three fat ratio indices and the triglyceride-glucose index for each man. Several indices tied clearly to the condition, with the plasma fat index and the sugar index standing out as the strongest. The authors suggest these cheap blood based scores could help flag cases early.
