Depression is associated with an increased risk of erectile dysfunction in men.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that depression is associated with an increased risk of erectile dysfunction in men?

Partly. Several studies report an association between depression and erectile dysfunction, including a European HIV cohort and a coronary-risk registry, but these cover only specific populations. Other cross-sectional studies in ED patients find the reverse association, that erectile dysfunction is linked to depression, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim's direction.
