The authors examined the association among sexual desire, sexual satisfaction, and quality of life in a sample of community participants. They predicted that quality of life would be positivity correlated with sexual satisfaction and that sexual desire would indirectly influence quality of life. This research showed that elderly adults' sexual desire and sexual satisfaction decrease with age and that nearly 40% of the interviewees still had sexual activity one or more times every month. The results revealed that sexual desire does not directly influence quality of life, but it does have a direct effect on sexual satisfaction; hence, sexual satisfaction will indirectly affect quality of life.
作者在社区参与者样本中研究了性欲、性满足和生活质量之间的关系。他们预测生活质量将与性满足呈正相关，而性欲将间接影响生活质量。这项研究表明，老年人的性欲和性满足随着年龄的增长而下降，近 40%的受访者仍每月有一次或多次性行为。结果表明，性欲不会直接影响生活质量，但它会对性满足有直接影响；因此，性满足将间接影响生活质量。
