| Summary / Zusammenfassung | The first part of this study aims to 1.) describe sexuality of heterosexual people in the second half of life, and 2.) identify predictors of sexual interest, activity, and satisfaction. The influence of psychosocial resources and stressors, sexual-biographical and relationship factors, health, and sociodemographic variables were investigated. Methods: Men and women were recruited from the general, german-speaking population of Switzerland via prescreening. 641 men (age: 45-91; M=61.8 years old) and 857 women (age: 45-86; M= 58.2 years old) filled out a questionnaire with items on health, sexuality, and satisfaction with life. Regression analyses were performed to calculate determinants of sexuality in the second half of life. The influence of partnership variables was analyzed by structural equation models. |
