This systematic review aimed at assessing the associations between sexual health and subjective well-being in older age groups (i.e. people aged between 40 and ≥90 years).
A systematic search was conducted of the Web of Science, MEDLINE, EBSCO, Scopus, SciELO and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature) databases for studies published until September 2021. Search strings included a combination of terms such as "sexual health" or "sexuality" and "well-being" and terms related to the measures that assess the constructs of interest. This systematic review followed PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Results were grouped into four categories that assess the interplay between sexual health and subjective well-being: cognitive and attitudinal factors, sexual behavior, sexual function and sexual satisfaction. The subjective well-being domains that were analyzed were life satisfaction, positive and negative affect, and psychological well-being.
A total of 15 quantitative studies were reviewed, of which 14 were articles and 1 was a doctoral dissertation. Findings suggest that living a fulfilling sexual life is an essential part of subjective well-being.
This review suggests that programs aiming to promote well-being in older age groups should also encourage a fulfilling sexual life.
本系统评价旨在评估老年人群（即年龄在40岁至90岁及以上者）的性健康与主观幸福感之间的关联。
对科学网、医学期刊数据库、EBSCO、Scopus、科学电子图书馆在线和拉丁美洲及加勒比健康科学文献数据库进行系统检索，以查找截至2021年9月发表的研究。检索词包括“性健康”或“性取向”以及“幸福感”等术语的组合，以及与评估相关概念的测量方法有关的术语。本系统评价遵循系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南。结果分为四类，以评估性健康与主观幸福感之间的相互作用：认知和态度因素、性行为、性功能和性满意度。所分析的主观幸福感领域包括生活满意度、积极和消极情绪以及心理健康。
共审查了15项定量研究，其中14篇为文章，1篇为博士论文。研究结果表明，拥有充实的性生活是主观幸福感的重要组成部分。
本评价表明，旨在促进老年人群幸福感的项目也应鼓励充实的性生活。
