A recent Military Medicine study found that U.S. veterans are at higher risk for several physical and mental health issues, including erectile dysfunction.

According to researchers, 14% of veterans reported symptoms of erectile dysfunction. The national average is 10%, according to the Boston University School of Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine.


The study, which surveyed 921 male veterans, found that those with erectile dysfunction were typically aged 60 or older, served in combat roles or during the Vietnam War, spent less than four years in the military, and are currently unemployed.
