Abstract
Background
Despite the aging of the population, little is known about the sexual behaviors and sexual function of older people.
Methods
We report the prevalence of sexual activity, behaviors, and problems in a national probability sample of 3005 U.S. adults (1550 women and 1455 men) 57 to 85 years of age, and we describe the association of these variables with age and health status.
