Studies of gender differences in the sexual activity of men and women after a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have produced conflicting results. The present study was performed to determine whether there are gender differences (1) in the quantity and quality of sexual activity after a first AMI, and (2) in the relations between selected demographic and medical variables and sexual activity after AMI. Four hundred sixty-two men and 51 women with a first AMI were interviewed once before discharge and again 3 to 6 months after AMI. Patients' demographic and medical background and their frequency of and satisfaction with sexual behavior were obtained from the interviews and from medical charts. Analyses of variance showed that women reported significantly less frequency of and satisfaction with sexual activity than men before and after AMI. Both women and men reported significantly less sexual activity and less satisfaction with sexual activity after AMI than before AMI. The decrease in frequency of and satisfaction with sexual activity after AMI was similar for women and men. The relations between selected demographic and medical variables such as age, education, and perceived health before the first AMI and the frequency of and satisfaction with sexual activity of the women and men did not appear to be affected differently by the AMI. A first AMI appears to reduce the frequency of and satisfaction with sexual activity of women and men similarly 3 to 6 months after AMI.
关于首次急性心肌梗死（AMI）后男性和女性性活动的性别差异研究结果相互矛盾。本研究旨在确定是否存在性别差异：（1）首次AMI后的性活动数量和质量方面；（2）特定人口统计学和医学变量与AMI后性活动之间的关系。对462名首次发生AMI的男性和51名女性在出院前进行了一次访谈，并在AMI后3至6个月再次进行访谈。通过访谈和病历获取患者的人口统计学和医学背景以及他们性行为的频率和满意度。方差分析表明，女性在AMI前后报告的性活动频率和满意度均显著低于男性。男性和女性在AMI后报告的性活动均显著少于AMI前，且对性活动的满意度也降低。AMI后女性和男性的性活动频率和满意度下降情况相似。首次AMI前的年龄、教育程度和感知健康等特定人口统计学和医学变量与男性和女性性活动频率及满意度之间的关系，似乎并未因AMI而受到不同影响。首次AMI似乎在AMI后3至6个月类似地降低了男性和女性的性活动频率及满意度。
