Sexual satisfaction of middle-aged and older adults: Longitudinal findings from a nationally representative sample

Age and Aging Sep 25, 2020

Buczak-Stec E, et al. - Via performing nationally representative longitudinal study (German Ageing Survey—DEAS) of community-dwelling individuals in Germany, researchers sought the determinants of sexual satisfaction longitudinally among middle-aged and older adults. They obtained data from three waves (2002, 2008, 2011). They assessed data of individuals aged 40–95 (36.9% age group 65+). At wave 2 in the year 2002, n = 3,843 individuals took part. Per findings, both middle-aged and older adults surprisingly had almost the same determinants (with exception of sociodemographic factors) linked with satisfaction with sex life. Performing random-effects regressions, they identified consistent association of increased sexual satisfaction with the following variables in both age groups: lower number of physical illnesses, better self-rated health, absence of depression, and higher importance of sexuality and intimacy. In addition, sexual satisfaction was linked with having a partner, living with a partner in the same household, and a lower score of loneliness. In contrast, no correlation of sexual satisfaction was observed, for example, with cognitive functioning.
