在老龄化社会中，缺乏对中老年人性健康的人群代表性研究。本研究的目的是确定45- 74岁人群的性行为和健康的潜在模式。方法我们对全国性态度和性生活方式调查进行了潜在类别分析（Natsal-3），2011年在英国进行的一项具有全国代表性的调查。结果在5260名45-74岁的受访者中，49%的男性和45%的女性属于“满足案例”类别，他们报告说自己的性健康状况良好。罕见靛蓝（31%的男性，44%的女性）的特点是缺乏性活动，报告一些不满，更有可能有残疾。低功能的李（12%的男性，8%的女性）报告了更多的残疾，并有性功能和更高水平的痛苦问题。TheMultiple-partnered摩根（9%的男性，2%的女性）的特点是由更多的性伴侣和几个risk behaviors.ConclusionsThe使用这四个类可以帮助改进针对性的量身定制的性健康服务，以改善性功能，性满意度，减少困扰和危险行为的中年和老年人。这些服务应该包括残疾人社区。要点这些受访者中约有一半被归类为“内容案例”，他们很少报告有关性生活的问题。超过三分之一的人报告最近没有性活动，其中绝大多数是单身，被归类为罕见靛蓝。近10%被归类为低-由于报告性功能问题和痛苦的可能性更大，其余被归类为多伴侣摩根，因为有多个伴侣的可能性很高，不安全性行为
ObjectivesPopulation-representative studies of the sexual health of middle-aged and older adults are lacking in aging societies. This study aimed to identify latent patterns of sexual behaviours and health of people aged 45-74.MethodsWe conducted a latent class analysis of the National Attitudes and Sexual Lifestyles Survey (Natsal-3), a nationally representative survey conducted in Britain in 2011.ResultsOf the 5260 respondents aged 45-74, 49% of men and 45% of women belonged to theContent Caseysclass who reported good sexual health. TheInfrequent Indigos(31% of men, 44% of women) were characterized by a lack of sexual activity, reported some dissatisfaction, and were more likely to have a disability. TheLow-Functioning Lees(12% of men, 8% of women) reported some more disability and had issues with sexual functioning and higher levels of distress. TheMultiple-Partnered Morgans(9% of men, 2% of women) were characterized by a greater number of sexual partners and several risk behaviours.ConclusionsThe use of these four classes can aid in improved targeting of tailored sexual health services to improve sexual function, sexual satisfaction, reduce distress and risky behaviours among middle-aged and older adults. These services should be inclusive of the disabled community.Bullet pointsAbout half of these respondents were classified asContent Caseyswho reported few issues concerning their sex lives.Over a third who reported no recent sexual activity, the vast majority of whom are single, were classified asInfrequent Indigos.Nearly 10% were classifiedLow-Functioning Leesdue to the greater probability of reporting sexual function issues and distress.The rest were classified asMultiple Partner Morgansas a result of a high likelihood of having multiple partners and unsafe sex.
