“…This increasing trend in numbers of partners during lifetime in successive birth cohorts has also been seen in a previous Nordic study [17] but contrasting previous results from a study conducted in Denmark in 1989 by Melbye and Biggar [13]. The authors showed highest numbers of recent and sexual partners during lifetime among the 30-34 year old men.…”

Sexual risk taking behaviour: prevalence and associated factors. A population-based study of 22 000 Danish men

BackgroundSexual habits and risky sexual behaviour strongly affect public health. Available data indicate that sexually transmitted infections are increasing in many EU countries. Changes in the epidemiology of sexually transmitted diseases across Europe are among other factors suggested to be driven by changes in sexual behaviour patterns. The purpose of our study is to assess the occurrence of risky behaviour in men aged 18-45 years from the general population. Furthermore, we aim to examine factors associated with risky sexual behaviour.MethodsA random sample of 33 000 Danish men (18-45 years) was selected from the general population. The participants (participation-rate: 71.0%) received a self-administered questionnaire which could be returned in a paper-based version or as a web-based questionnaire. Non-respondents were subsequently asked to participate in a telephone interview with the same questions as in the paper- or web-based questionnaire. We defined risky sexual behaviour as > 8 lifetime sexual partners, ≥2 new sexual partners in the past 6 months and intercourse with a commercial sex worker.ResultsThe Danish men reported having had sexual intercourse with a median of 8 female partners during their lifetime and 9.8% of the men have had ≥2 new sexual partners in the past 6 months. Sexual intercourse with a commercial sex worker was reported by 11.3% of the men. Furthermore, men reporting > 8 lifetime partners or ≥2 recent sex partners were more likely to have other risk taking behaviours such as early sexual debut, current smoking and regular binge drinking. A similar pattern was seen in men who had sex with a commercial sex worker.ConclusionsOur results show that a high proportion of Danish men have had sexual contact with a large number of partners, and risky sexual behaviour is closely related to other risk-taking behaviours such as smoking and binge drinking.

Few population-based studies have investigated the relation between living arrangements and risk of invasive penile squamous cell carcinoma (iP-SCC). Using long-term national cancer registry data in Denmark we examined incidence trends of iP-SCC. Furthermore, we examined the relation between marital status, cohabitation status and risk of iP-SCC using hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) obtained in Cox proportional hazards regression analyses as our measure of relative risk. Overall, 1,292 cases of iP-SCC were identified during 65.6 million person-years of observation between 1978 and 2010. During this period, the WHO world age-standardized incidence remained relatively stable (p-trend 5 0.41) with an average incidence of 1.05 cases per 100,000 person-years. When compared to married men, those who were unmarried (HR 1.37; 95% CI: 1.13-1.66), divorced (HR 1.49; 95% CI: 1.24-1.79) or widowed (HR 1.36; 95% CI: 1.13-1.63) were at increased risk of iP-SCC. Regarding cohabitation status, single-living men were at increased risk of iP-SCC compared to men in opposite-sex cohabitation (HR 1.43; 95% CI: 1.26-1.62). Risk increased with increasing numbers of prior opposite-sex (p-trend 5 0.02) and same-sex (p-trend < 0.001) cohabitations. In conclusion, single-living Danish men and men who are not currently married are at increased risk of iP-SCC, and the risk increases with the number of prior cohabitations, perhaps reflecting less stable sexual relations in these subgroups.Invasive penile cancers, of which up to 95% are penile squamous cell carcinomas (iP-SCC), are rare malignancies that occur mainly among elderly men at a mean age around 60 years. 1 In industrialized countries the age-standardized incidence of penile cancer is generally around or less than 1 per 100,000 person-years. 2-4 However, the annual incidence varies considerably worldwide from around 4 per 100,000 in countries such as Uganda and Brazil, 4-6 while it is close to zero among Israeli Jews. 4 In Denmark, the incidence declined from 1.15 to 0.82 per 100,000 person-years between 1943 and 1990. 7 Several population-based studies have evaluated the trends in penile cancer incidence over time. Most studies have reported a declining incidence, 5-11 while some have indicated a stable incidence over time. 12,13 A recent study from the Netherlands even suggested a slightly increasing trend of penile cancer incidence between 1989 and 2006, 14 but this was explained by a significant increase in penile carcinoma in situ over time, whereas the incidence of invasive penile cancer remained stable. A recent Danish study 15 also reported an overall increase in the incidence of penile cancer in recent years. However, concerns regarding methodological problems in that study have been raised, such as the use of supplementary data sources that were incomplete before the mid-1990's, thus contributing to the impression of an increasing trend. 16 Risk factors for penile cancer include phimosis, 17-21 tobacco use 17,18,20,21 and multiple sex partners. 1...
