to analyze the effects of sexuality on frailty and quality of life in the elderly.
a sectional study conducted with 662 elderly people between July and October 2020. Four self-administered instruments were used to collect bio-sociodemographic variables, sexuality, frailty and quality of life. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were performed.
among the dimensions that assess sexuality, sexual intercourse had a weak, positive effect on quality of life (SC: 0.134, 95%CI: 0.153 - 0.254, p = 0.027), while affective relationships had a strong, positive effect (SC: 0.556, 95%CI: 0.442 - 0.670, p < 0.001). Frailty was only significantly related to a weak to moderate negative effect with sexual intercourse (SC: -0.216, 95%CI: -0.385 - -0.047, p = 0.012).
two dimensions of sexuality, Sexual intercourse and Affective relationships, were found to have an effect on the quality of life and frailty of the elderly people investigated.
分析性行为对老年人衰弱和生活质量的影响。
2020 年 7 月至 10 月期间进行了一项横断面研究，共纳入 662 名老年人。使用 4 种自我管理工具收集生物社会学人口变量、性行为、衰弱和生活质量。进行了相关性分析和结构方程模型分析。
在评估性行为的维度中，性交对生活质量有弱而积极的影响（SC：0.134，95%CI：0.153-0.254，p=0.027），而情感关系则有强而积极的影响（SC：0.556，95%CI：0.442-0.670，p<0.001）。衰弱仅与性交有弱至中度的负相关（SC：-0.216，95%CI：-0.385-0.047，p=0.012）。
性行为的两个维度，即性交和情感关系，对所调查的老年人的生活质量和衰弱有影响。
