Summary
The US National Health and Social Life survey, which was undertaken in people aged 18–59 years, reported that sexual dysfunction is more prevalent for women (43%) than men (31%) [1]. Another US study of 1,550 women and 1,455 men aged 57–85 years found that the prevalence of sexual activity declined with age (73% among respondents 57–64 years of age, 53% among respondents 65–74 years of age and 26% among respondents 75–85 years of age); women were significantly less likely than men at all ages to report sexual activity [2].
