Relationship of sexual symptoms with CDS and testosterone categories. Severity of (a) reduction of spontaneous erections, (b) ED, and (c) hypoactive sexual desire according to categories of CDS (0 or ≥1) and total T (≥10.4 nmol l-1 or <10.4 nmol l-1). Severity of (d) reduction of spontaneous erections, (e) ED, and (f) hypoactive sexual desire according to categories of CDS (0 or ≥1) and free T (≥225 pmol l-1 or <225 pmol l-1). Sexual symptoms were assessed by questions (a) #5 and (b) #6 of ANDROTEST ([a and d] spontaneous morning erection and [b and e] ED) and #14 of SIEDY ([c and f] hypoactive sexual desire) and a higher score denotes a greater severity of the symptom. Data are represented as estimates with 95% confidence interval. Statistics are derived from age-adjusted multivariate analysis of covariance. ED: erectile dysfunction; T: testosterone; CDS: chronic disease score; SIEDY: Structured Interview on Erectile Dysfunction.
