感觉功能随着年龄的增长而下降，并可能影响老年人的性功能。事实上，嗅觉在性动机中发挥着独特的强大作用。因此，老年人的嗅觉功能障碍可能与性欲和满意度的变化密切相关。测试嗅觉功能受损是否与老年人性活动和性动机下降有关。对来自国家社会生活、健康和老龄化项目的美国社区老年人全国代表性样本进行横断面分析。通过经过验证的方法（Sniffin’ Sticks）测量了两种嗅觉功能模式（对正丁醇的敏感性和气味识别）。受访者回答了有关性想法（动机）和性活动的频率以及对最近性关系的满意度的调查问题。还收集了广泛的人口、健康和社会信息。在根据年龄、性别、种族、教育程度、认知、合并症和抑郁进行调整的分析中，美国老年人的嗅觉功能下降与性动机下降（OR 0.93，p=0.03）和性情感满意度下降（OR 0.89，p=0.04）相关，但与性活动或身体愉悦频率下降无关。嗅觉功能障碍可能会影响老年人的性行为。临床医生应解决感觉丧失的潜在可治疗原因，以提高生活质量。这些结果依赖于经过验证的嗅觉测试、性态度和行为的详细测量，以及具有全国代表性的美国老年人样本的广泛人口统计、健康和社会历史。由于这些分析的横截面性质，我们无法确定因果关系。美国老年人的嗅觉功能障碍与性动机和情绪满意度下降有关，这可能是由于嗅觉和性行为之间进化保守的神经联系所致。
Sensory function declines with age and may impact sexual function in older adults. Indeed, the sense of smell plays a uniquely strong role in sexual motivation. Therefore, olfactory dysfunction in older adults may be intimately linked to changes in sexual desire and satisfaction. To test whether impaired olfactory function is associated with decreased sexual activity and motivation in older adults. Cross-sectional analysis of a nationally representative sample of community-dwelling older U.S. adults from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. Two modalities of olfactory function were measured (sensitivity to n-butanol and odor identification) via validated methods (Sniffin’ Sticks). Respondents answered survey questions about frequency of sexual thoughts (motivation) and sexual activity, and satisfaction with their most recent sexual relationship. A wide range of demographic, health, and social information were also collected. Decreased olfactory function in older U.S. adults was associated with decreased sexual motivation (OR 0.93, p=0.03) and less emotional satisfaction with sex (OR 0.89, p=0.04), but not decreased frequency of sexual activity or physical pleasure, in analyses that were adjusted for age, gender, race, education, cognition, comorbidities, and depression. Olfactory dysfunction may affect sexuality in older adults. Potentially treatable causes of sensory loss should be addressed by clinicians to improve quality of life. These results rely on validated olfactory testing, detailed measures of sexual attitudes and behaviors, and extensive demographic, health, and social history in a nationally-representative sample of older U.S. adults. Due to the cross-sectional nature of these analyses, we cannot determine causality. Olfactory dysfunction in older U.S. adults is associated with decreased sexual motivation and emotional satisfaction, potentially due to evolutionary-conserved neurological links between olfaction and sexuality.
