Could High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Alone be a Predictive Biomarker for Patients with Erectile Dysfunction?

Abstract

This study aimed to assess High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels as a predictor of ED in 105 men aged 20-60, to determine whether HDL levels alone could indicate Erectile Dysfunction (ED) risk independently of other factors. Despite the numerous cardiovascular risk factors associated with ED, this study uniquely focused on the predictive value of HDL levels, aiming to highlight its standalone significance in ED risk assessment. The study analyzed the interaction of HDL levels with variables such as BMI and smoking status to improve understanding of lipid profiles in assessing and managing ED Logistic regression was conducted to assess the link between low HDL levels (
