Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue evidenciar de manera general que se necesita evaluar los diferentes factores que afectan el bienestar sexual de los adultos mayores.

De 281 artículos recuperados, finalmente se buscaron 59 artículos. incluidos para escribir este artículo de revisión.

The aging process leads to increased organic frailty, heightened vulnerability to diseases, and overall susceptibility to various forms of aggression. Health care professionals need to be aware of the challenges faced by older adults in the context of sexuality; this research article emphasizes the importance of sexual health in the elderly. Objective: The objective of this study was to generally demonstrate the need to evaluate different factors affecting the sexual well-being of older adults. Methods: Article searches were conducted in English and Spanish, published between 1998 and 2022, in electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Additionally, searches were performed in two Colombian databases from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana de Cali, including Scientific Information. Out of 281 retrieved articles, 59 were ultimately selected for inclusion in this review article. Results: The topic of sexuality faces restrictions despite being widely discussed in the media and family or friend environments. It is time to raise personal and social awareness to create quality sexual life programs despite the aging process. Conclusions: Older adults with sexual well-being exhibit better anxiety response, slow the progression of memory loss, and protect against the deterioration of cardiovascular diseases by adhering to medical treatments.application/pdfspaUniversidad de CartagenaRevista Ciencias Biomédicashttps://revistas.unicartagena.edu.co/index.php/cbiomedicas/article/download/4353/35424914112Hirose R, Ikegaya H, Naito Y, Watanabe N, Yoshida T, Bandou R, et al.
