So let's talk about different age range. If you're a man and you age range between 18 to 24, around 15 to 20% of you actually have some level of ED. So a substantial portion is more mild and more situational. So we'll discuss about that later. And if you are aged between 35 and 34, roughly 10 to 15% meet ED criteria by the survey. And if you are 35 to 44 is about 12 to 15%. And if you're 40 to 49, it goes up to about 8 to 22%. But the severity also goes up, meaning you may have moderate to severe ED and that mild is included, but not probably not as much as in the younger population.
