Popis: Summary Erectile dysfunction (ED) is not uncommon, but frequently underdiagnosed in type 2 diabetic men. In this study, we aimed to explore the frequency and severity of ED in Chinese type 2 diabetic men using a structured questionnaire. We furthermore sought to investigate the associations of ED with diabetes-related complications and metabolic indices. A consecutive cohort of 313 Chinese type 2 diabetic men aged between 25 and 76 years attending a diabetic centre were recruited between October 2006 and June 2007. Of the study population, the frequency of ED was 39.3% according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference criteria, compared with 84.3% (41.7% of them having moderate to severe ED) as diagnosed by International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire. After adjusting for potential confounding factors by multivariable logistic regression, ED defined by NIH criterion was associated with advanced age [OR = 1.05 (95% CI 1.01–1.09), p = 0.012], the presence of diabetic retinopathy [OR = 2.43 (95% CI 1.27–4.66), p = 0.008] and coronary heart disease [OR = 2.63 (95% CI 1.21–5.70), p = 0.015]. ED defined by IIEF-5 was associated with advanced age [OR = 1.12 (95% CI 1.06–1.17), p
