Systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants. A pre-tested and structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data were entered in Epi Info version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Logistic regression was applied to identify association between explanatory variables and the outcome variable. An adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and p-value less than 0.05 was computed to determine the level of significance.Results: Overall, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in this study was 58.5% at 95% CI (0.548– 0.622), and specifically 10.5%, 40.9%, 6.8% respondents had mild, moderate and severe erectile dysfunction, respectively. Age, duration of diabetes diagnosis, types of medication, types of complication and body mass index were significant unadjusted factors associated with erectile dysfunction, but following adjustment only age [AOR=5.5 (95% CI 2.06– 14.744), duration of diabetes [AOR=20,(95% CI 5.663– 75.0096) and types of medication [AOR=2.106 (95% CI 1.112– 3.988) have independently statistically significant association with erectile dysfunction.Conclusion: This study showed that ED is high. Age, duration of diabetes mellitus and type of medication are independently associated with erectile dysfunction. Health policymakers need to consider including the training of health personnel to consider the relevant risk factors during the physical, social and psychological assessment of patients, and clinicians should pay attention to the sexual history of their client.Keywords: diabetes, erectile dysfunction, DessieAbeway SDagne KZegeye TDove Medical Pressarticlediabeteserectile dysfunctiondessieSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 4201-4208 (2020)
