有规律性生活的人更有可能报告良好的整体生活质量。对青少年性行为的研究主要集中在高风险行为上，而对老年人的类似研究则集中在性功能障碍上。由于缺乏关于年轻人性行为的数据，以及性行为与总体健康之间可能存在重要关系，我们试图确定影响美国成年男性和女性性交频率的因素。目的：确定与青年和中年男性性交频率相关的因素。方法：我们分析了2002年全国家庭成长调查中的男性和女性样本的数据，以检查25 - 45岁美国人的性交频率（男性：N = 2 469;女性：N = 5，120）。主要结果测量。多变量负二项回归模型用于检验性交频率与人口统计学、社会经济学和人体测量学变量之间的独立关联。结果。在这项研究中，25至45岁的男女每月平均性生活次数分别为5.7次和6.4次。已婚女性性交频率显著增加，但对男性性交频率没有影响。身高增加，高中以下教育程度和年龄较小是男性性频率增加的预测因素。怀孕与男性和女性的性交频率显著降低相关。自我报告的健康状况和性交频率之间没有关联，多变量analysis.Conclusions.Among年轻男性成年人，性交频率与特定的社会经济，人口统计学和拟人化特征。女性的性生活频率似乎不受这些因素的影响。自我报告的健康状况并不能预测这个年龄段的性活动。Eisenberg M，Shindel AW，Smith JF，Breyer BN，and Lipshultz LI.美国成人性活动的社会经济学、拟人化和人口统计学预测因素：来自全国家庭增长调查的数据。J Sex Med 2010; 7：50 - 58.
Introduction.Individuals who engage in regular sexual intercourse are more likely to report good overall quality of life. Studies of sexuality in adolescents have focused on high-risk behaviors whereas similar studies in older adults have focused on sexual dysfunction. Given a paucity of data on the sexual behaviors of young adults and the possibility of important relationships between sexuality and overall health, we sought to determine factors that influence the frequency of intercourse in adult men and women in the United States.Aim.To identify factors related to coital frequency in young and middle-aged adults.Methods.We analyzed data from the male and female sample of the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth to examine frequency of sexual intercourse among Americans aged 25-45 years (men: N = 2,469; women: N = 5,120).Main Outcome Measures.Multivariable negative binomial regression modeling was used to test for independent associations between the frequency of sexual intercourse and demographic, socioeconomic, and anthropometric variables.Results.In this study, men and women between the ages of 25 and 45 have sex a mean 5.7 and 6.4 times per month, respectively. Being married significantly increased coital frequency for women but has no effect on male coital frequency. Increased height, less than high school education, and younger age were predictive of increased sexual frequency in men. Pregnancy was associated with significantly lower coital frequency for both men and women. No association was shown between self-reported health status and coital frequency on multivariable analysis.Conclusions.Among young male adults, coital frequency is associated with specific socioeconomic, demographic, and anthropomorphic characteristics. Sexual frequency in women does not appear to be influenced by such factors. Self-reported health is not predictive of sexual activity in this age group.
