Men’s inclusion criteria
MeTS, Psoriatic
RECRUITMENT
With ages ranging from 32 to 49 years old (because these age ranges were the available age ranges of CPP men who visited the recruitment settings during the recruitment period), this lifestyle modification trial included 60 mild-to-severe CPP married men with ED. The erectile function in psoriatic men was evaluated using the Arabic version of the five-item international index of erectile function questionnaire (IIEFQ-5). Psoriatic men with IIEFQ-5 scores ≥ 8 to < 21 (i.e., mild to moderate ED) were included. Men’s BMI ranged from 30 to 34.9 kg/mThe psoriatic men who showed at least three MeTS components were included in this lifestyle modification study. The components were men’s waist circumference (WC) ≥ 102 cm, blood pressure (BP) ≥ 130/85 mmHg or regular administration of pharmacological therapies to high BP, the value of serum high-density lipoprotein (SHDL) < 40 mg/dl, value of serum triglycerides (STG) ≥ 150 mg/dl, and serum fasting blood glucose (SFBG) level—tested after 6-h fasting— ≥ 110 mg/dl [All ethical issues concerned with Helsinki recommendations, institutional approval, and men’s consent were followed by the two authors. This single-blinded lifestyle modification approach in CPP men with MeTS and ED received local institutional approval (P.T.REC/012/004117).
