The sexual desire in the middle-aged and senior women is one of the factors affecting their quality of life and psychological well-being.
The present study was aimed to assess the sexual desire and related factors among married women aged 50-70 years.
In this descriptive-analytical study, 210 married menopausal women aged 50-70 years were selected by cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a demographic profile questionnaire and Sexual Desire Inventory (SDI), and analysed by SPSS version 22 software using descriptive statistics and independent t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient tests.
The mean age of women was 59.40 ± 5.93 years, and the mean sexual desire score was 22.66 ± 17.78 (out of 112). There was a significant relationship between sexual desire score and age, educational level, occupation of women and spouses, age of menopause, marital history, number of pregnancies and children, individual health and pain level (P < 0.001). The sexual desire score had a significant association with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, high cholesterol, chronic pain, gastrointestinal problems, chronic ulcers, bladder and intestinal problems, joint and bone disorders, taking cardiac medications, antihypertensive, anticoagulant, insulin, cholesterol-lowering drugs (P < 0.001).
The low sexual desire score and its reduction with age and the presence of various diseases and factors affecting sexual desire highlight the importance of diagnostic screening, family related educational planning and the role of health care providers in the health status of the older adults.
中老年女性的性欲是影响其生活质量和心理健康的因素之一。
本研究旨在评估50 - 70岁已婚女性的性欲及相关因素。
在这项描述性分析研究中，采用整群抽样法选取了210名年龄在50 - 70岁的已婚绝经女性。使用人口统计学特征问卷和性欲量表（SDI）收集数据，并通过SPSS 22版软件进行描述性统计分析以及独立样本t检验、方差分析和Pearson相关系数检验。
女性的平均年龄为59.40 ± 5.93岁，平均性欲得分为22.66 ± 17.78（满分112分）。性欲得分与女性及配偶的年龄、教育程度、职业、绝经年龄、婚姻史、怀孕次数和子女数量、个人健康状况和疼痛程度之间存在显著关系（P < 0.001）。性欲得分与糖尿病、高血压、心脏病、高胆固醇、慢性疼痛、胃肠道问题、慢性溃疡、膀胱和肠道问题、关节和骨骼疾病、服用心脏药物、抗高血压药、抗凝剂、胰岛素、降胆固醇药物之间存在显著关联（P < 0.001）。
性欲得分较低且随年龄下降，以及存在各种影响性欲的疾病和因素，凸显了诊断筛查、家庭相关教育规划以及医疗保健提供者在老年人健康状况方面作用的重要性。
