dc.description.abstractPremature ejaculation (PE) and erectile dysfunction (ED) are common male sexual dysfunctions. This study compared anthropometric measurements and skinfold thickness (SFT) between individuals with PE and ED to examine associations with regional fat distribution. A total of 90 men aged 20–50 years participated and were divided into three groups: ED (n = 29), PE (n = 28), and control (n = 33). Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. SFT was measured at seven anatomical sites: triceps, biceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal, thigh, and chest. SFT values in the triceps, biceps, suprailiac, subscapular, and thigh were significantly higher in both ED and PE groups than in controls (p < 0.05). The PE group showed significantly greater abdominal SFT than both the ED and control groups (p < 0.05). Although chest measurements did not differ significantly, this region showed the most consistent correlations across groups. Overall, individuals with ED and PE exhibited higher regional fat accumulation than healthy controls, with abdominal fat being particularly elevated in PE. These findings highlight the potential role of regional fat, particularly abdominal fat, in the clinical evaluation of sexual dysfunctions. SFT-based assessments may serve as practical tools for identifying and managing PE and ED. © 2026 The Author(s).
