  • Strong Correlation between Waist Size and Erectile Dysfunction

    A Man's Big Waistline Could be a Red Flag for Sexual Problems

    RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—If your waistline exceeds 40 inches, and you’re one to ride the escalator rather than walk the stairs, your sex life could be paying the price, according to a new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

    THE DETAILS: Researchers sifted through data on nearly 4,000 men, and found that a high waist circumference (more than 40 inches) or an obese body mass index (BMI of 30 or more) was linked to a 50 percent higher risk of having erectile dysfunction (ED), compared to those with a smaller waistline or a normal-range BMI. Moderately active or inactive men (those doing less than 150 minutes a week of physical activity) faced 40 to 60 percent greater odds of ED, compared to the active men. Researchers concluded that regardless of BMI, getting 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, and keeping your waist size at or below 40 inches, are both associated with healthy erections (no Viagra required).

      Always wonder about these generalised statements, what if you are over 2m tall(6' 7") or a powerlifter ? Any way I supposed advise is just that.

        Obviously BMI isn't an accurate indicator of obesity compared to body fat percentage, but I'm sure the study was looking mostly at the average male, not any extremes. And if there were they'd be accounted for on the bell curve. It's pretty much saying a higher body fat percentage could be a warning sign or indicator of ED, and there is a correlation.

        For example, Joe Ladnier is an accomplished, successful powerlifter and at his biggest his waist measured out at 36". And he was 5'7" 278 lbs. Powerlifters are also considered more than moderately active.
