What are the five “diseases of affluence”

  With the improvement of living conditions, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and obesity, the five “rich diseases” not only threaten people’s health, especially sexual dysfunction, affecting the sexual life of couples.   An authority random survey of 1290 men aged 40 to 70 found that “erectile dysfunction” is a common condition, about 52% of men over 40 years old suffer from erectile dysfunction, either mildly or severely. Among them, 17.2% were mild; 35.2% were moderate; and 9.6% were severe. The prevalence of complete erectile dysfunction was 28% in treated diabetics; 39% in heart patients; 15% in men undergoing anti-hypertensive treatment; and the more stressful the illness, the higher the prevalence of complete erectile dysfunction.

Hyperlipidemia can cause endothelial lipid deposition in the arteries and atherosclerosis, which is also one of the factors leading to erectile dysfunction.  Diabetes causes vascular and neuropathy, which is one of the diseases most closely related to erectile dysfunction. About 23-75% of adult male diabetics will have the problem of not being able to get an erection or an erection that lasts. The excessive weight of obese people leads to inconvenience in sexual life, causes mental burden, and can cause psychological problems.
