从一个有代表性的样本2460丹麦公民，年龄18至88岁的匿名回答获得了317项生活质量（QL）的问卷，其中包括5个问题的性。在抽样调查的受访者中，1.2%的人报告他们是双性恋，0.9%的人是同性恋。尽管在所有年龄组中都发现了性问题，但缺乏合适的性伴侣和无法达到性高潮在年轻人中更为常见，勃起功能障碍在老年人中更为常见。女性中最常见的问题是性欲下降（11.2%）和缺乏合适的性伴侣（4.9%），而在男性中，缺乏合适的性伴侣（7.3%）和勃起功能障碍（5.4%）。有性问题的人的QL比人口平均值低1.2%至19.1%（以该平均值表示）。性问题和OL之间的中等大小的协变表明，这些问题可能是QL降低的症状，而不是通过医疗干预或性治疗适当解决的医疗问题。对生活质量敏感的临床实践的影响进行了讨论。
From a representative sample of 2460 Danish citizens, ages 18 to 88 anonymous answers were obtained to a 317-item quality-of-life (QL) questionnaire, which included five questions on sexuality. Among the respondents in the sample, 1.2% reported they were bisexual and 0.9% homosexual. Although sexual problems were found in all age groups, lack of a suitable sex partner and inability to achieve orgasm were more common among the young and erectile dysfunction more common among the old. Most frequent problems among the women were reduced sexual desire (11.2%) and the lack of a suitable sex partner (4.9%), and among the men, the lack of a suitable sex partner (7.3%) and erectile dysfunction (5.4%). The QL of persons with sexual problems was from 1.2 to 19.1% lower than the population mean (as expressed in terms of this mean). The intermediate sized covariation between sexual problems and the OL suggests that such problems can be symptoms of a reduced QL rather than medical problems to be tackled through medical intervention or sex therapy proper. Implications for a quality-of-life-sensitive clinical practice are discussed.
