Frequency of sexual activity and long-term survival after acute myocardial infarction

American Journal of Medicine Aug 19, 2019

Kepler SB, et al. - Patients aged ≤ 65 years (n = 1,120) discharged from 8 hospitals in central Israel following the development of a first myocardial infarction from 1992 to 1993 were followed for mortality through 2015 by the experts in order to assess the relationship between sexual activity and long-term survival among patients with acute myocardial infarction. Frequency of sexual activity more than once per week was listed by 42% of the patients, whereas no sexual activity was listed by 6%, at baseline. The rates were 21% and 27%, respectively, following 10–13 years. Lower sexual activity was correlated with elderly age, female sex, lack of a constant partner, and more comorbidities. A total of 524 deaths occurred during follow-up. An inverse relationship was noted among sexual activity frequency and death. Thus, via repeated evaluations of sexual activity following myocardial infarction, an inverse correlation was illustrated with mortality, which was only partially considered for by measured potential confounders.
