Despite being high-risk groups, there is a paucity of data on erectile dysfunction among commercial vehicle drivers and motorcycle riders.\r\nObjectives: We aimed to determine and compare the prevalence and factors associated with ED among long-distance commercial vehicle drivers (CVDs) and commercial motorcycle riders (CMRs) in Ibadan, Nigeria.\r\nMethods: We used a comparative cross-sectional study design to enroll eligible male respondents in selected motor\/motorcycle parks within Ibadan metropolis. Interviewer administered questionnaires were used to elicit sociodemographic\/health-related characteristics, and ED status among participants. Data was analyzed using STATA version 12. Chi-square and Binary logistic regression were conducted to explore the association between ED and other covariates. Analyses were performed at 5% significance level.\r\nResults: The prevalence of ED was significantly higher among motorcycle riders than vehicle drivers (71.4% vs 47.4%, p =0.001). Predictors of ED among CMRs were monogamous marriage type and history of perineal injury; while among CVRs were aged above 40-years, history of perineal injury, and current use of alcohol.\r\nConclusion: There is a need for public education and awareness programmes on ED to reduce the burden and improve well-beingin these populations.\r\nKeyword: Erectile dysfunction; commercial motorcycle riders; long-distance commercial vehicle drivers; Southwest Nigeria.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4314\/ahs.v22i3.3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,15]],"date-time":"2022-11-15T13:21:53Z","timestamp":1668518513000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Prevalence and correlates of erectile dysfunction among long-distance commercial vehicle drivers and commercial motorcycle riders in Ibadan Nigeria: a comparative cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.4314","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Adekunle","family":"Adesola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martins","family":"Imhasoloeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adesanmi","family":"Akinsulore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2895","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]]},"container-title":["African Health Sciences"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajol.info\/index.php\/ahs\/article\/download\/234677\/221679","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajol.info\/index.php\/ahs\/article\/download\/234677\/221679","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,15]],"date-time":"2022-11-15T13:23:57Z","timestamp":1668518637000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajol.info\/index.php\/ahs\/article\/view\/234677"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,28]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4314\/ahs.v22i3.3","relation":{},"ISSN":["1729-0503","1680-6905"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1729-0503","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1680-6905","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]]}}}
