"......Those with ED were more at risk of life-threatening diseases when compared to those who didn’t experience the problem, according to the study published in the 'Journal of Sex Medicine'.
In order to make their findings, scientists assessed data from 1,790 adult men aged between 20 and 85-year-olds from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, over seven years. 557 of those involved reported experiencing ED.
This data was used alongside death certification from the National death Index up until 21 December, 2011.
The results showed that the risk of death rose by 70 per cent in men with ED."
