Abstract(s)
Este estudo analisou os factores predictores da importância da sexualidade na idade sénior
estudando as diferenças entre homens e mulheres. As análises foram realizadas, numa amostra
de 445 sujeitos maiores de 65 anos, 142 homens e 303 mulheres recolhida entre março de
2015 e maio do mesmo ano, em diferentes instituições e também via online. Foram realizadas
três regressões lineares, para analisar os factores significativos associados à importância que
os idosos dão à actividade sexual.
No que se refere aos resultados globais, as variáveis que se observaram, mais significativas
foram: a importância dada em manter uma relação amorosa na idade sénior, a actividade
sexual ao longo da vida, a religião e o sexo, provando que existem diferenças entre homens e
mulheres.
Na amostra de homens os factores que emergiram como mais significativos foram: a
importância dada em manter uma relação amorosa na idade sénior e a actividade sexual ao
longo da vida. Na amostra de mulheres os resultados foram semelhantes à amostra de homens,
diferenciando-se apenas, devido ao surgimento da variável religião como bastante
significativa. Através dos resultados observados, podemos afirmar que a variável mais
significativa, tanto para homens como mulheres, na importância dada à actividade sexual na
idade sénior é a importância dada em ter uma relação amorosa. Os resultados sugerem a
relevância das variáveis relacionais, nomeadamente a relação amorosa, como importante
predictor para a importância da sexualidade na idade sénior.
ABSTRACT: This study analyzed the predictors of the importance of sexuality in older age, studying the differences between men and women. Analyses were performed on a sample of 445 subjects, 142 men and 303 women collected between March 2015 and May of that year, in different institutions and also online. Three linear regressions were performed to analyze the significant factors of importance that older people give to sexual activity. With regard to the overall results, the variables to be observed, the most significant, were: the importance placed on maintaining a loving relationship during senior age, sexual activity throughout life, religion and sex, proving that there are differences between men and women. In men sample, the factors that emerged as most significant were: the importance given to the loving relationship during senior age and sexual activity throughout life. Regarding the sample of women, the results were similar to the sample of men, differing only due to the emergence of religion as a significant variable. Through the observed results, we can say that the most significant variable for both, men and women is the importance given to the loving relationship in the same age group. The results suggest the importance of relational factors, particularly the love relationship as an important predictor of the importance of sexuality in the senior age.
