Today, the population of people aged 60 and over is more than one billion people. In 2050, this population will increase to more than 2.5 billion, highlighting the need to better understand the reality of this growing population. Aging causes certain physical changes that can have many repercussions in different spheres of an individual’s life, including sexuality. Therefore, it is important to focus on the sexual well-being of older people, as well as to examine the risk and protective factors for maintaining a fulfilling and active sexuality, despite the biological changes that may occur.
