However, the association between CTI and erectile dysfunction (ED) remains largely unexplored. Participant data for this study were sourced from NHANES 2001-2004, with exclusion criteria applied to those lacking information on clinical variables. The CTI was defined as 0.412*Ln (CRP) + ln [T.G. (mg/dL) × FPG (mg/dL)/2]. Weighted univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were utilized to examine the correlation between the CTI and ED, assessing the CTI as both a continuous and categorical variable (quartile). Moreover, subgroup analyses were conducted to pinpoint sensitive populations, and interaction analysis was performed to validate the findings. A total of 1502 participants were included in the final analysis, encompassing 302 with ED and 1200 without ED. After adjusting for potential confounders, the CTI was positively associated with ED incidence (OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.27-1.90, P = 0.002). The fourth quartile of the CTI significantly increased the incidence of ED (OR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.07-6.74, P = 0.04), and the lowest quartile of CTI was used as the reference. The dose-response curve revealed a positive linear relationship between the CTI and the incidence of ED. Subgroup analysis confirmed the consistent positive relationship between the CTI and ED. The interaction test indicated no significant impact on this association. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was performed to verify the significant positive correlation between the CTI and severe ED (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.19-1.76, P = 0.004). Our national data indicate that a greater CTI is positively linked to an increased risk of ED in US men, suggesting its potential for use in clinical practice for ED prevention or early intervention. Additional large-scale prospective studies are warranted to substantiate the causative relationship between CTI and ED.</p>","PeriodicalId":14068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Impotence Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141534386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, emerging research suggests that abnormal semen parameters may serve as indicators of broader health issues beyond reproductive function. Studies have revealed significant associations between abnormal semen parameters and an increased risk of chronic diseases such as prostate cancer, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, and metabolic disorders. These findings challenge the conventional understanding and position semen analysis as a potential screening tool for overall male health. The correlation between abnormal semen parameters and conditions like erectile dysfunction further underscores the multifaceted implications of semen quality. This suggests that abnormal semen parameters may be a risk factor for poorer overall health and a higher likelihood of developing comorbidities over time. Given these compelling associations, there is a growing call to integrate semen analysis into routine health assessments for young men, particularly in conjunction with established general health screenings. This proactive approach aligns with a preventative healthcare paradigm, facilitating early detection of underlying health concerns and timely interventions.
