Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus displays a strong impact on the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems, and has led to questions about long-term effects. Erectile dysfunction is the inability for a male to achieve or sustain an erection during sexual intercourse, and commonly develops in men due to both physiological and psychologic factors. SARS-CoV-2 can affect the vasculature that surrounds endothelial tissue and thus has raised the question of a possible relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and erectile dysfunction (ED). Thus far, no studies have established a relationship between COVID-19 and ED. In this review, we analyze current available data and summarize the concepts regarding the current known relationship between COVID-19 and ED. Such a study might be helpful for urologists and andrologists to manage patients with ED and a history off COVID-19 infection. Methods: A systematic review was used to analyze the relationship between COVID-19 and ED. A literature search on three databases, Google Scholar, PubMed, and ResearchGate was conducted. Search terms used were COVID-19, erectile dysfunction, and SARS-CoV-2. All available studies were analyzed up to December 2021. Results: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant increase in male reproductive and sexual health diagnoses, including ED, with numbers showing that COVID-19 increases the chance of developing ED nearly sixfold. Physiological issues were also found in the reproductive system of men who had contracted COVID-19. For example, endothelial progenitor cells were much lower in patients positive with COVID-19 even when compared to men with severe ED who had never contracted COVID-19. However, it is still not clear how consistent it is to find SARS-CoV-2 in the reproductive system as one study showed only two out of five testes were positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the reproductive system and another study showed that there were only 3 out of 26 cases in which the SARS-CoV-2 spike existed in the endothelia of the blood-testis barrier, seminiferous tubules, and sperm of the epididymis. Conclusions: Many correlations can be made between COVID-19 and ED. However, future testing and research must be completed to determine a causal relationship between COVID-19 and ED.

Background : The current study examined whether the association between body mass index (BMI) and symptoms of depression is mediated by self-reported physical health among Chinese people with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs). Methods : This was a secondary analysis based on a previous cross-sectional survey using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Short Form-12 (SF-12). A convenience sample of Chinese people with MCCs (n = 351) was recruited and a mediation effect model using SPSS PROCESS was employed. Results : The results showed that self-reported physical health acted as a full mediator in the association between BMI and depression only for men with MCCs. Conclusions : The findings of this study suggest that decreased physical health should be of primary importance in the management of MCCs. Further intervention addressing weight control could be a strategy of particular interest for improving the mental health of people with MCCs.

Background: The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a huge impact on the psychological wellbeing of the population, however, few studies have analysed the psychological consequences for the most vulnerable groups, particularly those suffering from depression and anxiety, and specifically in men. The objective of this study is to analyse the changes in a population of men undergoing active treatment for depression or anxiety and factors associated with these changes. Methods: Retrospective, longitudinal and observational study of a population of 28,294 men in northern Spain. The study variables were sociodemographic variables, chronic comorbidities, COVID-19 infection, anxiolytic and antidepressant drug consumption, and use of healthcare resources. These variables were collected from the Primary Health Care electronic records for the two distinct periods (6 months before and 6 months following the end of the lockdown). To compare drug patterns and the use of healthcare resources a paired Student's T-test was used. To analyse associated factors related to a deterioration of mental disorders, a multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results: In relation to changes in drug patterns, 40% of men saw an increase in at least one Defined Daily Dose (DDD) of their prescribed drugs during the 6 months following lockdown and the number of appointments at health centres and home visits significantly decreased. Factors associated with a deterioration of mental disorders are being under 60 years old, having an income of less than 18,000 euros/year and suffering from more than one comorbidity. Conclusions: The pandemic had a significant impact on men with a previous diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased risks to people's health due to restrictions on movement and access to exercise facilities. This study compares and analyzes perceptions and key attributes of exercise among Korean men and women in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic by using data collected from social media. Methods: Data were collected from January 2020 to June 2021. The search keywords were classified into "COVID-19, men, and exercise" and "COVID-19, women, and exercise", and data were collected through Textom (The Imc Inc., Daegu, Republic of Korea), a big data collection and analysis platform. Frequency analysis, TF-IDF analysis, and degree centrality analysis were performed using Textom. In addition, a CONCOR (CONvergent and CORrelation) analysis was performed using UCINET 6 (Analytic Technologies Corp., Lexington, KY, USA) to visualize related words and analyze clusters. Results: In total, 10,703 data points of 5.935 MB were collected and analyzed. The top 50 words related to men's and women's exercises of COVID-19 were derived through frequency analysis, TF-IDF analysis, and degree centrality analysis. We also derived four common clusters (exercise method, COVID-19 situation, friends, and sports). In addition, three clusters (women's fitness, children and hashtags) for men's exercise and two clusters (weight loss and Olympics) for women's exercise were derived separately. Conclusions: The study results show that it is possible to provide suggestions and health improvement plans for exercise based on gender. In addition, our findings can serve as an academic basis for developing health promotion programs related to exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic, which can contribute to reducing the economic costs and health risks associated with the pandemic.
背景：新冠肺炎大流行增加了人们的健康风险，这是由于对行动和进入锻炼设施的限制。这项研究利用从社交媒体收集的数据，比较和分析了新冠肺炎大流行背景下韩国男性和女性对锻炼的看法和关键属性。方法：数据收集时间为2020年1月至2021年6月。搜索关键词分为“新冠肺炎、男性和锻炼”和“新冠肺炎、女性和锻炼”，数据通过大数据收集和分析平台Textom（The Imc股份有限公司，Daegu，Republic of Korea）收集。使用Textom进行频率分析、TF-IDF分析和程度中心性分析。此外，使用UCINET 6（Analytical Technologies Corp.，Lexington，KY，USA）进行CONCOR（CONvergent and CORrelation）分析，以可视化相关单词并分析聚类。结果：总共收集和分析了10703个5.935MB的数据点。通过频率分析、TF-IDF分析和程度中心性分析，得出新冠肺炎男女运动相关的前50个单词。我们还得出了四个常见的集群（锻炼方法、新冠肺炎情况、朋友和运动）。此外，还分别导出了三个用于男性锻炼的集群（女性健身、儿童和标签）和两个用于女性锻炼的集群。结论：研究结果表明，可以根据性别为运动提供建议和健康改善计划。此外，我们的研究结果可以作为制定新冠肺炎大流行期间与锻炼相关的健康促进计划的学术基础，这有助于降低与大流行相关的经济成本和健康风险。
