Popis: Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a complex disorder of biopsychosocial etiology. Approximately 3%–77 % of adult men worldwide are more or less affected by ED. Objective: This cross-sectional study investigated the association between ED and socioeconomic status (SES) based on a nationally representative adult male population. Methods: The poverty income ratio (PIR), which refers to household income ratio to the established poverty line, was used to assess SES. Oxidative stress related to diet and lifestyle was reflected by oxidative balance score (OBS). Erectile function was evaluated using a questionnaire. Based on the results of the questionnaire, participants were divided into two groups of those without ED (always or almost always be able to erect and keep erection, usually be able to erect and keep erection) and with ED (sometimes be able to erect and keep erection, never be able to erect and keep erection). Multivariate logistic regression, multiple models, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to analyze and describe the interaction between ED, OBS, and SES. Results: Compared with men without ED, those with ED were more likely to be older in age (43.98 vs 37.74, P<0.0001), and less educated (P
