“…Furthermore, frailty was associated with impaired general sexual functioning, suffering related to sexual function and erectile dysfunction (30). Another Chinese community-based study conducted with 341 men older adults aged 60 to 83 years old revealed a strong association between erectile dysfunction and frailty among the participants, evidencing the need to consider erectile dysfunction in multidimensional assessments of frailty (31).…”

Objective: to evaluate the experiences of sexuality and its correlation with frailty among older adults. Materials and methods: cross-sectional study carried out with a total of 250 older adults living in the Northeast of Brazil. They answered three instruments to obtain biosociodemographic, sexuality and frailty data. The analysis was performed using Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test with 95% confidence interval. Results: sexual intercourse was negatively correlated with reduced strength (ρ = -0.263; p < 0.001) and walking speed (ρ = -0.201; p = 0.001) and positively correlated with reported fatigue (ρ = 0.149; p = 0.018). Affective relationships were negatively correlated with reduced strength (ρ = -0.254; p < 0.001) and walking speed (ρ = -0.207; p = 0.001) and positively correlated with reported fatigue (ρ = 0.207; p = 0.001). Finally, physical and social adversities were positively correlated with reduced strength (ρ = 0.279; p < 0.001), reduced walking speed (ρ = 0.261; p < 0.001) and low physical activity (ρ = 0.140; p = 0.034), in addition to being negatively correlated with reported fatigue (ρ = -0.171; p = 0.009). Conclusion: it was found that the sexuality of older adults is better experienced in affective relationships and weak positive and negative correlations between sexuality and frailty.

“…Several studies have reported an association between age and ED. But most of these studies have focused on older men or men whose average age was over 40 years [ 22 – 25 ]. The absence of such an association in our study appears to be due to the low average age (approximately 30 years) of men with GWs in this study.…”

et al. 2022

Background Human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted infection, usually passing from one person to another after the first sexual activity. Infection with this virus and the occurrence of genital warts (GWs) could have several effects on patients’ health. This study was performed to evaluate the sexual function and sexual quality of life (SQOL) in men with GWs. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2019 to March 2020 with a sample size of 105 men with GWs in the dermatology clinic of Shahid Faghihi Hospital in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), and the Sexual Quality of Life-Men (SQOL-M) questionnaires and analyzed by descriptive and inferential tests with SPSS software version 22. Results The mean score for overall sexual function in men was 48.50 ± 8.89. About 35.2% of men had overall sexual dysfunction (SD). The highest disorder rate was related to the erection domain (85.7%), and the lowest was related to the desire domain (5.7%). In the erection domain, most men (54.3%) experienced mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. The mean score for SQOL-M was 38.36 ± 14.47, and 56.2% of them had a good SQOL. Conclusions GWs affected men’s erection more than the other sexual function domains. SD in men with GWs has a significant impact on their SQOL and ED was associated with impaired SQOL. Therefore, it is recommended to pay more attention to SD screening alongside SQOL assessment of men with GW.

“…Por otro lado, el COVID-19 podría exacerbar condiciones cardiovasculares preexistentes, pudiendo incrementar el riesgo de padecer DE 33 , considerando además, que el sexo masculino ha sido asociado a casos más severos de infección debido al SARS-CoV2 37 . Aun cuando la DE incrementa con la edad, la evidencia disponible menciona que la DE es significativamente mayor en sujetos > 60 años que personas menores de 60 años años 43,44 . De acuerdo con nuestros análisis, se encontró que, pese a que existían diferencias significativas de edad entre los grupos No SDRA 38,4 años (± 14,9) y el SDRA 48,9 años (± 11,7), estas edades no generan diferencias significativas entre los puntajes del IIEF5 en los modelos univariados y multivariados.…”

Sexual, physical, mental and sleep sequelae four months after SARS-CoV-2 diseaseBackground: Long term sequelae can be observed after SARS-CoV2. Aim: To describe the sexual, physical, mental and sleep sequelae four months after SARS-CoV2 diagnosis. Patients and Methods: Patients recovering from SARS-CoV2 with different degrees of disease severity were consecutively included and separated in two study groups, namely Group 1 including patients that had an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and Group 2 including those with mild or moderate COVID-19. Handgrip strength, respiratory polygraphy (RP), Quality of life using the SF-12 questionnaire, and the international index of erectile (IIEF-5) function were assessed. Results: Twenty patients who had ARDS, and 10 without ARDS were included. Erectile dysfunction was observed in 77 and 10% of patients with and without ARDS, respectively (p < 0.01). The figures for sleep obstructive apnea were 82 and 40% respectively (p = 0.02) and for the physical domain SF-12 score were 39.2 and 47.9 points respectively (p = 0.01). No differences in muscle strength were observed. After a multivariable analysis, previous ARDS due to COVID-19 was independently associated with erectile dysfunction, with an odds ratio of 30.6 (95% confidence intervals, 3.08-300.3, p = 0.003). Conclusions: Among men with ARDS due to COVID-19, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction was high and independently associated with a severe disease four months after discharge.
