The Prevalence of Atherosclerosis and Related Factors in Both Types of Premature Ejaculation (Acquired and Lifelong) in Men

Résumé

Abstract Background: investigate the prevalence and The related factors between the two types of premature ejaculation (lifelong PE[LPE], acquired PE [APE] in men and atherosclerosis. Methods: One hundred patients complaining of PE and 100 control subjects were enrolled in this prospective study.All cases underwent a full medical history and Clinical examination.Blood pressure,serum lipid profile, testosterone,and Body mass index (BMI) were measured.The Arabic index of premature ejaculation (AIPE) and self-estimated (IELT) Intravaginal latency time was used for PE evaluation. Atherosclerosis was diagnosed by measuring the Carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT). Patients were divided into two major groups, (Group 1) [PE group] and (Group 2) [Control group]. Results: The mean age of cases in (group1) and (group 2) were 44.5 ± 11.7 versus 42.3 ± 10.8 yrs. The Systolic BP, diastolic (BP), Serum Triglycerides, serum LDL (BMI), the prevalence of atherosclerosis and smoking rate showed higher results in (group1) compared to group2, with significant difference (p<0.001). The IELT was significantly lower in group1 (2.67± 1.25) compared to group2 (3.77±1.52), (p<0.001). The prevalence of APE (74%) was significantly higher than LPE (26%) in group1(p<0.001). regression analysis revealed that patients with APE showed more comorbidities than LPE patients concerning the prevalence of atherosclerosis, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia (p<0.001 for all items).Both of APE and LPE were significantly related to age>35y, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, smoking, Bl pressure and hyperlipidemia (p<0.001 for all factors).Conclusions: Both types of PE,predominately the APE type,are associated with atherosclerosis, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. The APE type reported more prevalence than the LPE.
