Prevalence of hypogonadism in the aging male and male erectile dysfunction in Asia-Pacific countries

摘要

Hypogonadism in aging men and male sexual dysfunction are important gender-specific conditions which have significant clinical, epidemiological and socio-economic implications. Data on their respective prevalence are scarce and sporadic. Yet, it is important that such information be available, in order that healthcare planners and providers may allocate appropriate resources for their management and prevention. A Symposium was therefore planned for the 2nd Meeting on The Aging Male organized by the Asia Pacific Society for the Study of the Aging Male (APSSAM) in Taipei on 6th～9th March 2003, so that members of APSSAM would have the opportunity of presenting the relevant data pertinent to their respective countries.
