Abstract:
<p>The physiological, cognitive and psychosocial changes which occur in the elderly can have an impact on the elderly’s decreased ability to meet functional needs, confusion or withdrawal, and an inability to make needs-related decisions. The physical changes include some changes in the appearance, different alterations in internal organ systems, changes in psychological function and nervous system, as well as changes in the sexuality appearance and ability. The purpose of this study was to investigate sexuality experiences of the elderly in the society. This study used a qualitative des

Abstract:
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision ( ICD-10), describes sexual dysfunction on the basis of the inability of the individual to participate in a sexual relationship. On the other hand, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) ( DSM-5) describes it as the inability to respond sexually or experience sexual pleasure. Neither diagnostic manual addresses age as a contextual factor in sexual response, though DSM-5 notes that aging may be associated with a normative decrease in sexual response.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy in elderly men.

Abstract Despite benefits to overall health and well-being, healthcare professionals’ knowledge and research is limited in regards to older women’s sexuality and intimacy desires. There are barriers that impede fulfilling these desires and lack of understanding hinders ways to address this issue, which negatively affects the well-being of older women. A sexuality and intimacy survey of 29 women between the ages of 60-86 revealed that the majority were having sex at least once a month and expressed the desire to increase the frequency of sexual encounters. These data suggests that later-life se

Abstract:
Abstract The issue of seniors’ sexuality, especially the aspect of sexual activity undertaken by people considered “old” is usually met with silence or even condemned. The stereotypical assumptions are that with age a person’s needs associated with feeling and realizing their own sexuality dissipate, and seniors are perceived as asexual beings. Only in the last decades of the XX century did this area of “taboo” become the subject of in-depth scientific interest and research. The average life span is increasing, and as research shows, so is the number of people who are sexually active and satis

In order to correct such bias, a exploratory-descriptive study of a qualitative approach based on Bardain’s content analysis was conducted. 80 colostomized participants were recruited from Stomatolog

Whereas policymakers and health disparities researchers regard disability as an indicator of reduced quality of life, rehabilitation researchers focus on maximizing health and quality of life in the context of disability.

Abstract The therapeutic approach for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in elderly patients is generally tailored on the basis of age, performance status, comorbidities and patient consent. Toxicity and low-response rates are major constraints and, in general, the therapeutic options are finally conditioned by the clinicians’ views about the patients’ health status and preferences. In this setting, the patients’ perception of their own health (health-related quality of life, or HRQOL) may be useful.
