- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the association between experiences in older adults’ sexuality and biosociodemographic characteristics. Method: a cross-sectional study developed with 3,740 older adults. The participants filled out two instruments to obtain the biosociodemographic variables and on the experiences in sexuality. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and KruskalWallis tests, with a 95% confidence interval for all analyses. Results: there was a predominance of male participants (62.6%) who never received guidance on sexuality from health professionals (77.6%). The best experiences in sexuality were observed among male participants (p=0.002), aged between 60 and 74 years (p<0.001), self-declared brown (p<0.001), adherents to religions of African origins (p<0.001), who have a single partner (p<0.001), who live with their spouse for five years or less (p<0.001), who do not have children (p<0.001) and homosexuals (p<0.001). Conclusion and implications for practice: all biosociodemographic variables were significantly associated with at least one dimension of the sexuality scale. In this sense, health professionals will have scientific and current evidence of the variables that most need attention in elder care with regard to their sexuality.
