Sexual ageing in the history of medicine, 1774-2018

该项目旨在介绍自18世纪末以来，更年期、男性更年期和“临界年龄”医学观念的不同历史时期。了解老龄化和性取向问题是如何在历史上发生变化的，将有助于细微差别我们目前的理解，这些理解与越来越多的老龄化人口有关。这个项目将提供关于性衰老的现代概念联系的综合历史。它将把对被忽视的历史来源的严格咨询与对当前科学证据的咨询结合起来。该项目的成果将针对历史读者，但也针对临床医生和普通公众。

This project aims to provide an account of the different historical periods in changing medical concepts of menopause, andropause and the 'critical age' since the end of the eighteenth century. Understanding how questions of ageing and sexuality have changed across history will help to nuance our current understandings, relevant to an increasing number of people in ageing populations. This project will provide an integrative history of the nexus of modern concepts about sexual aging. It will combine rigorous consultation of overlooked historical sources with consultation of current scientific evidence. Outcomes of the project will be aimed at historical readers, but also at clinicians and the general public.
