Abstract

This study aimed to identify factors associated with sexual symptoms of aging male's in a representative sample of men aged 40 or older from Pelotas, southern Brazil. We performed a population-based cross-sectional study including 421 men who lived in urban area. To evaluate the sexual symptoms of aging male's was used the sexual dimension of the AMS scale - The Aging Male's Symptoms Scale. The prevalence of sexual symptoms of male aging was 64.3% (95% CI: 59.3%-69.1%). Multivariable analysis identified direct association with age and inverse association with health self-rated. We conclude that the prevalence of sexual symptoms in older males is high and important. Public health policies coupled with increased healthy lifestyle habits could minimize the prevalence and provide better quality of life for middle-age and older men.
