作者评论了最近的一些文章，发现性活动和老年人认知能力测试结果之间存在正相关。这些数据来自英国老龄化纵向研究（艾尔莎）的第六波研究。这些调查表明，性活动水平随着年龄的增长而下降，尽管有相当一部分男女在80岁和90岁之前仍然保持性活跃。这篇文章的作者认为是什么让这些女性和男性在70多岁和80多岁时仍然保持性活跃。他们指出，也许试图回答这个问题可能是基于以前获得的结果，这表明老年人的不利认知功能与认为性不重要和评价性生活不愉快有关。因此，似乎应该尝试制定一个与对性的积极态度有关的量表。因此，作者提出了一个简短的清单，这种特殊的态度的表现。他们将这10点清单命名为“身体意识、性感和性欲量表”。这个列表的元素是以一种任意的、直观的方式确定的，但作者开始了对其验证的试验。
The authors comment some recent articles on the detected positive associations between sexual activity and results of tests of cognitive performance achieving by older people. They indicate the data collected in the course of "Wave 6" of The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). These investigations demonstrated, that however the level of sexual activity declines with increasing age, although a sizable minority of men and women remain sexually active until the eighth and ninth decades of life. The authors of the article consider what makes these women and men that they remain sexually active in their 70s and 80s. They point out that perhaps attempt to answer to this question may be based on results obtained previously, which revealed that the unfavorable cognitive functioning of older people was associated with perceiving sexuality as unimportant and with evaluating sexual life as unpleasant. So, it seems that there should be an attempt to formulate a scale, which would be related to the positive attitude towards sexuality. The authors proposed therefore a short list of manifestations of this special attitude. They named their 10 points list as a "body awareness, sensuality and libido scale". The elements of this list are settled in a arbitrary, intuitive way, but the authors began the trials of its validation.
