摘要

目的

探讨老年男性性生活特征与自测健康状况的相关性。

方法

采用简单随机抽样法选取2015年9月至2018年6月于重庆市老年病医院、重庆市人民医院、重庆医科大学附属永川医院及重庆市第四人民医院定期年度门诊体检的有固定性伴的老年男性626例，研究对象均自愿配合抽血检测血清总睾酮(TT)和游离睾酮(FT)水平，并配合问卷调查。问卷调查表由14个特征和自测健康评定量表(SRHMS V1.0)得分构成。Spearman相关分析评估性生活特征与SRHMS得分的关系。

结果

血清TT、FT水平和性交频率是反映老年男性性生活特征的指标。血清TT水平与SRHMS自测的健康总得分及生理健康、心理健康、社会健康得分的相关系数

分别为0.721、0.729、0.656、0.737(

0.001)；血清FT水平与四类得分的

分别为0.808、0.811、0.763、0.793(

0.001)；性交频率与四类得分的

分别为0.792、0.793、0.751、0.770(

0.001)。

结论

老年男性血清睾酮水平及性交频率与自测健康状况呈正相关，上述指标可考虑作为老年男性健康标准的参考。

Abstract

Objective

To examine the association of serum testosterone levels and sexual activities with self-rated health status in elderly men.

Methods

We recruited 626 elderly men with fixed partners from 4 hospitals in Chongqing by simple random sampling. All the participants were cooperative with blood tests for serum total testosterone (TT) and free testosterone (FT) levels and completed a survey questionnaire that consisted of 14 characteristics and a self-rated health measurement scale (SRHMS V1.0). Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the sexual activities of these participants and their SRHMS scores.

Results

We used serum TT and FT levels and the frequency of sexual intercourse as the indicators for the sexual life characteristics of the elderly men. The correlation coefficients of serum TT with SRHMS total health score

physiological health score

mental health score and social health score were 0.721

0.729

0.656

and 0.737

respectively (

0.001); the correlation coefficients of serum FT with the 4 self-rated SRHMS scores were 0.808

0.811

0.763

0.793

respectively (

0.001); the correlation coefficients of the frequency of sexual intercourse with the 4 scores were 0.792

0.793

0.751

and 0.770

respectively (

0.001).

Conclusion

Serum testosterone level and the frequency of sexual intercourse are positively correlated with the self-rated health status in elderly men

and they can serve as potential reference indicators for assessing the health status of elderly men.
