Abstract: The article presents the findings of a study that aims to assess the impact on health related quality of life (HRQOL) of diabetes mellitus among South Asian men who have erectile dysfunction (ED). The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF5) was used to assess ED. It mentions the association of ED with a significantly poorer quality of life when assessed by both generic and disease specific HRQOL measures.
