Penhollow, Michael Young, and George Denny  \nABSTRACT  \nBackground: Relatively little is known about the sexual behaviors of older people, and the relationship between quality of life and sexuality has not been fully explored. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of sociological, cultural, and psychological factors to further explain variance beyond biological changes that influence participation in sexual intercourse, sexual satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Methods: Data were collected using a mixed-mode approach to optimize participant response and coverage. Residents of a large active retirement community served as the study participants. Results: Logistic regression identified a set of biopsychosocial variables which significantly distinguished between those who participate and do not participate in sexual intercourse. Multiple regression procedures identified sets of variables that significantly predicted sexual satisfaction and quality of life. Discussion: Overall findings add to the existing body of literature on aging, sexual health, and quality of life. Translation to Health Education Practice: Health professionals should develop interventions that provide education about sexuality to enhance sexual satisfaction and quality of life among community dwelling older adults.  \nPenhollow TM, Young M, Denny G.

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)1 reports that the older population in 2030 is projected to be twice as large as their counterparts in 2000, growing from 35 million to 71.5 million, representing nearly 20% of the national population. This shift of age demographics increases the importance of better understanding factors that contribute to the adaptation and well-being of the older population. One of the most important factors contributing to quality of life among older adults is sexuality.2,3 However, according to recent literature, little is known about the sexual behaviors and sexual functioning ofolder people,4 and the relationship between quality of life and sexuality has not been fully explored.3  \nQuality of life is a subjective and complex concept that can be measured using multiple  \ndimensions. Considerable research on quality of life has been conducted among older adults.3,5-8 Factors identified in the literature that influence older adults’ quality of life include age, gender, education, marital status, health status, physical functioning, social relationships, psychological wellbeing, and sexual activity. Sexuality and sexual activities have not been frequently investigated variables in studies of quality of life among older adults. Sexuality has been defined as a multidimensional and holistic phenomenon with biological, emotional, psychological, intellectual, spiritual, and sociocultural components.9,10 Sexuality is a major aspect of intimacy and incorporates components such as sexual desire, activity, function, attitudes, beliefs, values about identity, and self-concept.  \nMuch of the previous literature is based on a biological or medical perspective, which asserts that sexual behaviors, desire, and satisfaction are reduced and eliminated  \nwith age due to physical transformations, hormonal changes, and chronic illnesses.11 Many older adults who have sexual relations benefit from an important source of reinforcement and pleasure. It has been reported that sexuality helps preserve psychological and physical well-being, which indirectly contribu","cbCaidYoJiYCUQCp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidYoJiYCUQCp","pdf",171877,"English","# Abstract\n## Background, Purpose, and Methods\n## Results and Discussion\n## Translation to Health Education Practice\n# Introduction\n## Demographic context and importance\n## Quality of life and sexuality concepts\n## Prior biological/medical perspective\n# Author Information and Publication Notes\n# Purpose\n## Need for biopsychosocial research","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main purpose?\",\"answer\":\"To investigate how sociological, cultural, and psychological factors help explain variation in sexual intercourse, sexual satisfaction, and overall quality of life beyond biological changes.\"},{\"question\":\"How were study participants and data collected?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected using a mixed-mode approach, and residents of a large active retirement community served as participants.\"},{\"question\":\"Which methods were used to analyze the outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Logistic regression identified biopsychosocial variables distinguishing those who participate in sexual intercourse from those who do not; multiple regression predicted sexual satisfaction and quality of life.\"}]","Predictors of Quality of life, Sexual Intercourse, and Sexual Satisfaction among Active older Adults | PDF",1792074158,23]
