Resumo(s)
Aim: The aim of the current paper was to provide an overview of literature on sexual function
and sexual difficulties in older adults.
Method: We conducted a narrative review of papers published in English between January 2005
and July 2015 based on an extensive search in PsycINFO.
Results: The review showed that while common biological changes may adversely affect sexual
function in old age, sexual experience seems to also be affected by psychological and
interpersonal factors.
Conclusions: Greater life expectancy and better medical care will result in older individuals with
chronic diseases living longer. The need for help to cope with changes in sexual health is likely
to increase in older adults, as sexuality may be negatively affected through several pathways.
