In this study, the cardiovascular risk factors of ED among aborigines in Taiwan were investigated. However, alcohol dependence (AD) was prevalent in Taiwan\u2019s aborigine population. So this study also focused on the relationship among AD, the cardiovascular risk factors and ED. A cross-sectional study was conducted, and data was obtained from a baseline survey of 192 aboriginal adults (35-75 years of age). The participants\u2019 demographic data, AD, markers of endothelial function, serum testosterone, and ED status were assessed. Ninety-four (49%) of the 192 participants had a history of alcoholism and 79 (84%) of those with alcoholism had ED. The study reported that AD and hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome (MetS), ED, abnormality of testosterone, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein are highly prevalent among the aborigines. Factors that may affect ED included age, AD, central obesity, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, MetS, and testosterone. ED is highly prevalent among aborigines with the risk factors of AD, MetS, old age, and abnormal testosterone serum level. MetS, atherosclerosis, and ED are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Hence, an increased focus on Taiwanese aborigines with ED is necessary.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1557988314543657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,24]],"date-time":"2014-07-24T23:34:30Z","timestamp":1406244870000},"page":"247-256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Study on Alcohol Dependence and Factors Related to Erectile Dysfunction Among Aborigines in Taiwan"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Jian-Kang","family":"Chao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Yuli branch, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Hualien, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Health Administration, Tzu Chi College of Technology, Hualien County, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mi-Chia","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yen-Chin","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Human Sexuality, Shu-Te University, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Han-Sun","family":"Chiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fu Jen Catholic University, New Taipei, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Urology, Medical University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas I-Sheng","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1557988314543657","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr2-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc08-0851"},{"key":"bibr3-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2010.02181.x"},{"key":"bibr4-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ijir.2012.5"},{"key":"bibr5-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1995.tb01474.x"},{"key":"bibr6-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-789X.2005.00175.x"},{"key":"bibr7-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1982.tb04964.x"},{"key":"bibr8-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2009.01356.x"},{"key":"bibr9-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jsm.12175"},{"key":"bibr10-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/369711a0"},{"key":"bibr11-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.285.19.2486"},{"key":"bibr12-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2007-1395"},{"key":"bibr13-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2008.01135.x"},{"key":"bibr14-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2012.02816.x"},{"key":"bibr15-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.166.2.213"},{"key":"bibr16-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2003.07.042"},{"key":"bibr17-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.28.3.719"},{"key":"bibr18-1557988314543657","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ju.0000162049.95483.51"},{"key":"bibr19-1557988314543657","first-page":"87","volume":"18","author":"Kuo C.
