Table 1.
Clinical, biochemical, and hormonal characteristics of men with type 2 diabetes according to their sexual function (n = 200).
| Variable | Men with normal sexual function (n = 81) | Men with sexual dysfunction (n = 119) | P value | All the participants (n = 200) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| BMI (Kg/m2) | 27.3 ± 3.6 | 25.9 ± 3.4 | 0.01 | 26.5 ± 3.6 |
| SBP (mmHg) | 127.4 ± 16.1 | 133.9 ± 18.5 | 0.02 | 130 ± 17 |

| Chol (mg/dL) | 177.8 ± 35.3 | 181.5 ± 36 | 0.5 | 179 ± 36 |
| HDL-C (mg/dL)∗ | 39.5 ± 7.8 | 39.5 ± 5.2 | 0.8 | 39.5 ± 6.5 |
| HbA1c (%) | 7.7 ± 1.8 | 7.7 ± 1.4 | 0.8 | 7.7 ± 1.6 |

| Testosterone (ng/dL)∗ | 6.04 ± 2.5 | 5.9 ± 1.9 | 0.8 | 5.9 ± 2.2 |
BMI: body mass index, SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, FPG: fasting plasma glucose, Tg: triglyceride, Chol: cholesterol, HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol, Creat: creatinin concentration.
∗Because of abnormal distribution of these variables we tested them with nonparameteric Mann-whitney test but no difference was found in the results and prevalues.
