| Core Tip |
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver condition worldwide. It often occurs alongside metabolic disorders, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common sexual health issue in men. However, there is limited high-quality evidence systematically examining the relationship between ED and NAFLD. This systematic narrative review summarizes the existing research and confirms that NAFLD is a significant risk factor for ED. The strength of this association depends on various factors, including age, insulin resistance, testosterone levels, and anxiety. This study provides evidence-based support for the early identification of ED risk in NAFLD patients, which is significant for advancing comprehensive metabolic interventions, both socially and clinically. |
