Prevalence of the main endocrine diseases in the Italian population. *The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (the most frequent condition) was considered in the calculation. **The total prevalence of sexual dysfunction is much higher than that of other conditions such as dyslipidemia and obesity. However, only 7% of men and women with sexual dysfunction are treated or otherwise see a physician for treatment of the disorder. ***Menopause affects approximately 10,000,000 women. Of these, 80% report complaints related to the condition, but only 25% seek medical attention.
