In this YouTube short, Dr. Anne Truong summarizes two key pieces of evidence linking vitamin D deficiency to erectile dysfunction (ED). First, a large systematic review of over 13,000 men found that those whose ED was primarily due to impaired blood flow had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels compared to men with other ED etiologies. Second, the nationwide NAME study showed that men with vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL had a 30% higher risk of developing ED, and this relationship remained statistically independent of other risk factors. The brief underscores vitamin D deficiency as a potentially modifiable contributor to blood‑flow‑related ED.

Now, in the nationwide data from a study that is the NAME study of vitamin D deficiency below 20 nanograms per mL, was independently associated with 30% higher risk of ED. Notice that word, independently.
