Decreased forced expiratory volume in first second is associated with erectile dysfunction in apparently healthy men. A preliminary study.

Although it has been evaluated that even 76% of men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease suffer from erectile dysfunction, the association has been poorly characterised. The aim of the study was to describe the association between forced expiratory volume in first second and erectile dysfunction in apparently healthy men. All together 331 men aged 45-70 years old were randomly drawn from a cross-sectional population-based study conducted in 2005 in Finland.

The impact of socioeconomic status on stage specific prostate cancer survival and mortality before and after introduction of PSA test in Finland.

Socioeconomic status (SES) has an impact on prostate cancer (PCa) outcomes. Men with high SES have higher incidence and lower mortality of PCa versus lower SES males. PCa cases diagnosed in Finland in 1985-2014 (N = 95,076) were identified from the Finnish Cancer Registry.

Stage-specific mortality and survival trends of prostate cancer patients in Finland before and after introduction of PSA.

Background: The early diagnosis and right treatment strategy of localized prostate cancer (PCa) remains problematic. In order to characterize the survival of PCa patients, we compared patients' all-cause and cancer-specific mortalities between pre- and post-PSA periods by stage in Finland.

Material And Methods: All PCa cases diagnosed in Finland between 1985 and 2013 (N = 91,329) were identified from the Finnish Cancer Registry (FCR).

Erectile dysfunction cannot be used in primary screening of pre-diabetes.

We hypothesized that erectile dysfunction is associated with impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance and could be used in primary screening of pre-diabetes. Although erectile dysfunction is known to be closely associated with diabetes, we demonstrate that it is not associated with pre-diabetes in 926 apparently healthy men.

High-intensity physical activity, stable relationship, and high education level associate with decreasing risk of erectile dysfunction in 1,000 apparently healthy cardiovascular risk subjects.

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is especially common in men with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the data are scarce concerning populations without manifested CVD.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe factors associated with ED, especially those associated with decreasing risk of ED, in men with cardiovascular risk factors but without CVD, diabetes, or chronic renal disease.
