Prevalence ratios for erectile dysfunction by CVH score at baseline

Low CVH Moderate CVH High CVH Per 1-point higher CVH score
PR PR (95% CI) PR (95% CI) PR (95% CI)
Unadjusted 1 (reference group) 0.72 (0.63, 0.81)* 0.57 (0.41, 0.79)* 0.92 (0.89, 0.94)*
Model 2 1 (reference group) 0.72 (0.64, 0.82)* 0.58 (0.42, 0.81)* 0.92 (0.90, 0.95)*
Model 3 1 (reference group) 0.75 (0.66, 0.84)* 0.68 (0.49, 0.94)* 0.93 (0.91, 0.96)*

Model 2 includes FMD score. Model 3 includes FMD score, age, study center, education, heavy drinking, diagnosis of chronic illness: kidney or liver disease, emphysema, cancer (including prostate cancer), CES-D score, use of antidepressant medication, and use of beta-blocker medication. Abbreviations: CES-D, center for epidemiologic studies depression score; CI, confidence interval; CVH, cardiovascular health; FMD, flow-mediated dilation; PR, prevalence ratio. *P ≤ 0.01.
