Association between CVH and covariables of interest with erectile dysfunction in a fully adjusted model (Model 3)

	b (95% CI)
Per 1-point higher CVH score	−0.07 (−0.11, −0.03)*
FMD	−0.00 (−0.09, 0.08)
Age	0.05 (0.04, 0.06)*
Race	0.01 (−0.13. 0.15)
Antidepressant medication use	0.20 (−0.12, 0.53)
CES-D score	0.01 (0.00, 0.03)
Beta-blocker use	0.11 (−0.11, 0.32)

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. Prevalence ratios for erectile dysfunction by CVH category or 1-unit increase in total CVH point total. Abbreviations: b, beta-coefficient; CES-D, center for epidemiologic studies depression score; CI, confidence interval; CVH, cardiovascular health; FMD, flow-mediated dilation; PR, prevalence ratio. *P ≤ 0.01.
