Objectives: Owing to the advancement of public health,
life expectancy of human-being is continuing to grow and
therefore the elderly comprise the fastest increasing segment of
the global population in Taiwan. The impact factors of quality
of sexuality among the elderly are still unclear. This study was
conducted to investigate the potential factors which impact the
sexual quality of the elderly.
Materials and Methods：At August 2002, 794 residents aged
65 and over in Shin-Sher Township, Taichung County agreed to
participate in the study. Personal interviews with structured
questionnaires were conducted at the subjects’ residences by
trained interviewers. The major component of the interview was
to assess the demographic data, activities of daily life,
geriatric depression scale, recognition, numbers of comorbidity,
and quality of sexuality. ANOVA and Chi-square tests were used
to explore which factors impact the sexual quality of the
elderly. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to examine the
relationships between the impression of sexuality and the
quality of sexuality. General linear model was used to adjust
the potential confounders.
Results：There is a statistical significant difference
between sexual quality and marital status among the whole older
people (p < 0.05). Among the older men, there is no statistical
significant difference between these factors and quality of
sexuality. Among the older women, there is a statistical
significant difference between sexual quality and marital status
(p < 0.05). The impression of sexuality was positively related
to the quality of sexuality among the older men and women (p <
0.05).
Conclusions：Marital status was a important factor which
impacted the quality of sexuality among the elderly. The
impression of sexuality was positively related to the quality of
sexuality among the older men and women.
