Abstract

The most important aspect to consider in optimizing the sexual health of the older woman is to ask about it, and determine what might be contributing to any difficulties that are faced. It also behooves all health providers to remind older women (and older men) that age is not a barrier to sexually transmitted diseases. Recognition that healthy sexuality is an important issue for achieving quality of life is an area that patients and their providers need to be cognizant of, but one where far more research and evaluation need to occur.
