ABSTRACT
The prevalence of erectile dysfunction has recently been studied in various countries in Europe and other continents. However, determinants of erectile dysfunction on a population level have been studied only in a handful of these surveys1-4. An example of a survey in which both prevalence and determinants of erectile dysfunction have been studied is the Krimpen study. In this study, the prevalence rates of erectile dysfunction and its determinants, and the level of concern about the dysfunction, were studied in a population-based sample of men aged 50 years or over in Krimpen aan den IJssel, a commuter town of about 28 000 inhabitants, near Rotterdam5.
