Risk Factors Associated with Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) has several contributing risk factors, many of which can be addressed through lifestyle changes. According to the transcript, these factors include:

• Chronic health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension
• Poor cholesterol levels
• Tobacco use
• Drug and alcohol consumption
• Obesity
• Inadequate nutrition
• Insufficient physical activity

The transcript emphasizes that while many risk factors are modifiable, age remains an inevitable contributor to erectile dysfunction. As the speaker notes, “age affects everything” including erectile function, and despite efforts to maintain sexual health, the aging process naturally impacts erectile capability over time.

The message acknowledges that while medical interventions can help preserve and maintain erectile function, age-related changes are inevitable—”something that mother nature always wins,” ultimately leading to diminished erectile function in older men.
