AIM:This article provides an overview of current sexual behaviour research in later life by describing associated factors, including the physical and psychological benefits. METHODS:Recent systematic reviews were interrogated for findings on sexual behaviour research in adults aged 60+. RESULTS:Regardless of research methods employed, all studies showed that there were a range of physical and psychological benefits to remaining sexually active in later life. While quantitative studies placed an emphasis on measuring penile-vaginal intercourse, they provided no definitive conclusion about the benefits due to 'inconsistent results' across studies. Qualitative studies described the myriad ways in which older adults redefine what constitutes sexual activity despite the onset of dysfunction and disability. CONCLUSION:While the different research methods show that engaging in sexual behaviour has physical and psychological benefits at all adult ages, there is limited conclusive evidence about what the overall benefits might be in later life.

目的:本文通过描述相关因素(包括身体和心理上的好处),概述了当前晚年性行为研究的概况。
方法:对最近的系统评价对60岁成年人的性行为研究进行了调查。
结果:无论采用何种研究方法,所有研究均表明,在以后的生活中保持性活跃有一系列生理和心理上的益处。虽然定量研究强调测量阴茎-阴道性交,但由于整个研究的“结果不一致”,他们没有给出有关益处的明确结论。定性研究描述了尽管功能障碍和残疾发作,老年人重新定义性活动的无数方法。
结论:尽管不同的研究方法表明,在所有成年年龄进行性行为都具有生理和心理上的益处,但是关于最终生活可能带来的总体益处的确凿证据有限。
