Table 3 Results of the generalized linear model applied to the relationship between the International Index of Erectile Function 5-item and the parameters Age, body mass index, modified Charlson Comorbidity Index, Follicle-Stimulating hormone, Luteinizing-Hormone, Sex-Hormone Binding Globulin, Free Testosterone, and the gonadal status defined as a binomial variable (hypogonadism, if total Testosterone lower than 300 ng/dL; eugonadism, if total Testosterone equal to or more than 300 ng/dL)
