Abstract：Objective:To investigate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men with pre-diabetes.Methods:This study included 500 men with impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG),500 with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT),and another 500 with normal blood glucose (NBG),all from Lanzhou.We conducted a questionnaire investigation among the subjects using the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction 5 (IIEF-5).Results:The prevalence rates of ED in the IFG,IGT,and NBG groups were 14.8％,29.2％,and 33.2％,respectively.After controlling for age,nationality,occupation,education,income,obesity,and blood pressure,the incidence rate was markedly higher in the IFG and IGT than in the NBG group (29.2％ and 33.2％ vs 14.8％,P ＜0.05),but showed no statistically significant difference between the IFG and IGT groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion:The prevalence of ED is higher in men with pre-diabetes than in those with normal blood glucose in Lanzhou.
