Lifestyle Modification for Erectile Dysfunction in Men With Metabolic Syndrome (LIFE-MetS-ED)
Penile Hemodynamic Recovery Following a Six-Month Structured Lifestyle Modification Program in Men With Metabolic Syndrome-Associated Erectile Dysfunction: A Prospective Single-Arm Interventional Study
Metabolic syndrome is associated with erectile dysfunction through obesity, insulin resistance, abnormal blood lipids, high blood pressure, and impaired blood-vessel function. This study will evaluate whether a structured six-month lifestyle-modification program can improve penile blood flow and erectile function in men with metabolic syndrome-associated erectile dysfunction.
Eligible participants will receive dietary counseling, exercise guidance, weight-management advice, smoking-cessation counseling when applicable, sleep and sedentary-behavior advice, and repeated behavioral reinforcement. Erectile function, penile blood-flow measurements obtained by penile duplex Doppler ultrasonography, body measurements, and selected metabolic laboratory parameters will be assessed before the program and after six months.
調査の概要
詳細な説明
This prospective single-arm interventional study will evaluate the effect of a structured six-month lifestyle-modification program on penile hemodynamic parameters and erectile function in adult men with metabolic syndrome-associated erectile dysfunction.
Participants will undergo baseline assessment including demographic and clinical data collection, anthropometric measurements, blood-pressure assessment, erectile-function evaluation using the International Index of Erectile Function-5, selected laboratory investigations, and penile duplex Doppler ultrasonography after intracavernosal administration of a vasoactive agent according to the local institutional protocol.
The lifestyle program will include individualized dietary counseling, recommendations for regular moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, weight-reduction advice, smoking-cessation counseling for smokers, sleep-hygiene counseling, reduction of sedentary behavior, and behavioral reinforcement during follow-up visits. Participants will be followed monthly for adherence reinforcement and will undergo repeat clinical, laboratory, erectile-function, and penile hemodynamic assessments at six months.
The principal hypothesis is that structured lifestyle modification will improve penile hemodynamic parameters, particularly peak systolic velocity, and will improve erectile-function scores in men with metabolic syndrome-associated erectile dysfunction.

実験的：Structured Lifestyle Modification
Participants will receive a structured six-month lifestyle-modification program consisting of dietary counseling, moderate-intensity physical-activity advice, weight-management counseling, smoking-cessation counseling when applicable, sleep-hygiene advice, reduction of sedentary behavior, and monthly behavioral reinforcement.
|
Participants will receive an initial standardized counseling session followed by written lifestyle instructions and repeated monthly reinforcement.
The program will target improved diet quality, reduced caloric intake, increased moderate-intensity aerobic activity, weight reduction according to baseline body mass index and waist circumference, smoking cessation when applicable, improved sleep hygiene, and reduced sedentary behavior.
Adherence will be assessed using participant self-report and follow-up review over six months.
