Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between hypogonadism and sexual functioning in males with and without type II diabetes based on the moderating roles of marital status, the level of education, and age. Specifically, the predictive role of hypogonadism on the explanation of sexual functioning was investigated.

Method

The participants included 229 males with and without type II diabetes. A demographic questionnaire, the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), and (2) the Testosterone Level Test (TLT) were used in this study.

Results

Patients with type II diabetes had significantly lower testosterone levels, erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall sexual satisfaction than individuals in the control group. The erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and the overall sexual satisfaction had significant positive relationships to the total testosterone level in this sample. The total testosterone level explained 39% of the overall sexual function variation in the present study.

Conclusion

Patients with type II diabetes have higher hypogonadism and a lower sexual functioning than healthy individuals, and there is a significant linear relationship between the total testosterone level and sexual functioning in males.

伴有和不伴有II型糖尿病的男性性腺功能减退和性功能

目的探讨男性2型糖尿病患者和非2型糖尿病患者性腺功能减退与性功能之间的关系，以及婚姻状况、文化程度和年龄的调节作用。具体来说，性腺功能减退在性功能解释中的预测作用被研究。方法研究对象包括229名患有和不患有II型糖尿病的男性。本研究采用人口统计问卷、国际勃起功能指数(IIEF)和睾酮水平测试(TLT)。结果2型糖尿病患者睾酮水平、勃起功能、性高潮功能、性欲、性交满意度和总体性满意度均明显低于对照组。勃起功能、性高潮功能、性欲、性交满意度和总体性满意度与总睾酮水平呈显著正相关。在本研究中，总睾酮水平解释了39%的总体性功能变化。结论2型糖尿病患者性腺功能减退、性功能减退明显高于健康人群，男性总睾酮水平与性功能存在显著的线性关系。
