Could the amount of caffeine men drink affect their likelihood of developing erectile dysfunction?Review Caffeine Intake and Erectile Dysfunction in US Men[PLoS ONE 2015; 10(4):e0123547]SummaryThis correlation of caffeine intake and erectile dysfunction found men who drank approximately 2-3 cups of coffee per day had the lowest of odds of developing erectile dysfunction.Study MethodsThe study of 3,724 men who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) who were analyzed for their self-report of erectile dysfunction compared to their 24-hour dietary recall history to estimate caffeine intake. Using multi-variable logic regression analysis, the men were able to be categorized for correlation.ResultsThis analysis found men who drank between 85mg and 170mg a day (3rd quintile) and 171mg to 303mg a day (4th quintile) of caffeine were less likely to report erectile dysfunction than men who had the lowest caffeine intake (0-7mg a day). The odds ratio for developing erectile dysfunction in the 3rd quintile was 0.58; (95% CI, 0.37-0.89); and 4th quintile OR: 0.61; 95% (CI, 0.38-0.97). Additionally, the researchers found overweight and obese men, as well as hypertensive men who consumed over 85mg a day of caffeine had lower rates of erectile dysfunction compared to less or no caffeine. This only held true for those overweight/obese men and hypertensive men who did not have diabetes.ConclusionTwo to 3 cups a day for men, even overweight and obese men without diabetes, lower the risk of developing erectile dysfunction. This is just the latest study to look at the potential benefits of
