“…6 It is worth mentioning that aging promotes a series of physiological alterations and the way in which the elderly experience sexuality differs between genders, and both men and women consider sexuality 9 and the sexual act 10 as an important part of life. [9][10] Nevertheless, many myths, prejudices, and inauthentic conceptions about sexuality in old age are perpetuated, 3 including by health professionals, the community, family members, and even among the elderly themselves, 1 which requires attention. 3 As a result of all these concerns, sexuality among the elderly population is still neglected by researchers, since most of the current scientific investigations that approach the theme emphasize the physiological impacts of sexuality in this phase of life, 5 contributing with few reflections on the influence of this human behavior on the Quality of Life (QoL) of the elderly.…”

Objective to analyze the association between experiences of sexuality with bio-socio-demographic variables and quality of life of elderly people. Methods cross-sectional study, developed with 1,922 Brazilian elderly people, whose data were collected through a web survey. Three instruments were used to obtain bio-socio-demographic data, sexuality and quality of life. The analysis was carried out with the Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman correlation and multivariate linear regression tests, with the “insert” input method, adopting a 95% confidence interval. Results the overall assessment of sexuality was strongly associated with marital status (p<0.001); religion (p=0.001); not having children (p<0.001); sexual orientation (p=0.008) and receiving guidance on sexuality from health professionals (p=0.002). Sexuality correlated positively and with different magnitudes with all facets of quality of life (p<0.001). Regression analysis demonstrated that all dimensions of sexuality remained positively associated with quality of life: sexual act [β=0.154; 95%CI=0.083-0.225; p<0.001]; affective relationships [β=0.335; 95%CI=0.263-0.407; p<0.001] and physical and social adversity [β=1.388; 95%CI=1.206-1.571; p<0.001]. Conclusion and implications for practice sexuality was significantly associated with some bio-socio-demographic variables and positively correlated with the quality of life of the elderly people investigated.
