“…Previous studies have demonstrated a significant correlation between drinking and increased risk of sexual dysfunction in male or female patients. 14 , 15 Alcohol consumption can induce a reduction in testosterone levels by inhibiting its synthesis, which affects libido and sexual potency. 16 These studies have shown that alcohol is a depressant that impairs sensory nerve input, resulting in decreased libido, arousal, and intensity.…”

This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological features of sexual dysfunction in people aged more than 65 years in parts of China, and to investigate the independent significant risk factors. Methods: According to the population distribution of five communities in Xiamen and Chongqing, we have randomly enrolled 2403 people more than 65 years-of-age. We collected data information through a questionnaire survey. Then demonstrated the current condition of sexual dysfunction in the samples by statistical analysis, and multivariable logistic regression was used to disclose the risk factors of sexual dysfunction in the older adults.Results: According to this study, about 10.48% of the elderly had sexual dysfunctions of different degrees and duration. The proportion of men was about twice that of women (14.5% of males and 7.3% of females). During the course of the disease, 3.19% (43/1344) of women and 3.31% (35/1059) of men had more than 15 years duration of sexual dysfunction. In severity, 5.7% (77/1344) of women and 7.0% (74/1059) of men had very severe sexual dysfunction. There were statistically significant differences in BMI, smoking, drinking history, hypertension, depression incidence or median (p<0.05). Alcohol consumption history [OR = 1.711, 95% CI: 1.124-2.604, p = 0.012] and depression [OR = 2.107, 95% CI: 1.109-4.356, p =0.044] were independent risk factors for sexual dysfunction. Conclusion:The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was low among elderly in the southern part of China. But the course of the disease is long and the degree of the disease is very severe. Elderly with a history of drinking and depression are more prone to sexual dysfunction.

“…This study found that an increased risk of sexual dysfunction in the elderly who have history of alcohol consumption and depression. Previous studies have demonstrated a signi cant correlation between drinking and increase risk of sexual dysfunction [17][18]. And depression is common in the elderly 19], most studies showed that depression is a risk factor for sexual dysfunction and its relation -ship should be viewed as two-way [20].…”

Objective This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological features of sexual dysfunc -tion in the old people that ages more than 65 in parts of China, and to investigate the independent significant risk factors. Methods According to population distribution of five communities in Xiamen and Chongqing, we have enrolled 2403 people that ages more than 65 randomly. We collected data information thought questionnaire survey mainly. Then demonstrated the current condition of sexual dysfunction in the samples by statistical analysis, and multivariable logistic regression was used to disclosed the risk factors of sexual dysfunction in the older adults. Results This epidemiological investigation demonstrated that about 10.48 percent of the elderly suffering from sexual dysfunction in different degree and duration time, the prevalence rate of this study was lower than previous studies. Gender, living in region, education experience, BMI, smoking and drinking history, hypertension and depression were significant differences in the rate or median(all p༜0.05).and Living in urban region[OR = 4.142 OR95%CI: 1.745–5.739 p༜0.001],drinking history [OR = 1.711 OR95%CI:1.124–2.604 p = 0.012] and depression[OR = 2.107 OR95% CI:1.109–4.356 p = 0.044] were independent risk factors for the sexual function. Conclusion The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was low among the elderly in the parts of China. The old people of living in urban region, drinking and depression are more likely have prone to sexual dysfunction.

IntroductionFemale sexual dysfunction is very common, but its determinants remain under‐investigated. Vasculogenic impairments are suggested to be related to female sexual dysfunction, but previous literature regarding the association is scarce. This study aims to study the association between arterial health and female sexual function in women in their 60s.Material and methodsThe sample for this cross‐sectional study comprised 117 women (aged 60–64 years) who participated in the Finnish Retirement and Aging study. Arterial health was measured according to the participants' pulse wave velocity, ankle–brachial index, blood pressure, and pulse pressure. Sexual function was measured using the Female Sexual Function Index, which resulted in a total score and six sub‐scores. Associations were examined using multivariable regression analyses, which were adjusted for age, relationship happiness, systemic menopausal hormone therapy and/or local estrogen, smoking, alcohol risk use, body mass index, and depressive symptoms.ResultsHigher diastolic blood pressure was associated with a higher total Female Sexual Function Index score (β = 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.07–0.41) and with higher desire (β = 0.02, 95% CI 0.01–0.04), arousal (β = 0.04, 95% CI 0.01–0.08), lubrication (β = 0.04, 95% CI 0.002–0.08), satisfaction (β = 0.03, 95% CI 0.003–0.05), and pain (β = 0.06, 95% CI 0.02–0.10) sub‐scores. Also, higher ankle–brachial index was associated with higher satisfaction sub‐score (β = 2.10, 95% CI 0.44–3.73) and lower pulse pressure was associated with higher orgasm sub‐score (β = 0.03, 95% CI 0.0002–0.06). Other associations between ankle–brachial index and Female Sexual Function Index scores were statistically insignificant, but considering the magnitude the findings may imply clinical significance. Systolic blood pressure and pulse wave velocity were not associated with sexual function.ConclusionsThis study suggested a plausible association between higher diastolic blood pressure and female sexual function, but considering clinical significance our findings suggest an association between higher ankle–brachial index and good sexual function in women in their 60s.
