Abstract
Material and methods: A total of 400 male patients over 50 years of age who suffered from ED were included in this study. The 2005 criteria of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and American Heart Association/The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) were used for the diagnosis of MS. Subsequently, the patients were divided into two groups: those with MS and those without MS. The first-five version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) was applied to assess the severity of ED (IIEF-5 score 5-7, severe ED; IIEF-EF score 8-21, mild to moderate ED). The severity of ED was compared according to the two different MS diagnostic criteria.
