OBJECTIVE To describe sexual activity, behavior, and problems among middle-age and
older adults by diabetes status.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a substudy of 1,993 communityresiding adults, aged 57 85 years, from a cross-sectional, nationally representative sample (N
3,005). In-home interviews, observed medications, and A1C were used to stratify by diagnosed
diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes, or no diabetes. Logistic regression was used to model associations between diabetes conditions and sexual characteristics, separately by gender.
RESULTS The survey response rate was 75.5%. More than 60% of partnered individuals
with diagnosed diabetes were sexually active. Women with diagnosed diabetes were less likely
than men with diagnosed diabetes (adjusted odds ratio 0.28 [95% CI 0.16 0.49]) and other
women (0.63 [0.45 0.87]) to be sexually active. Partnered sexual behaviors did not differ by gender
or diabetes status. The prevalence of orgasm problems was similarly elevated among men with
diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes compared with that for other men, but erectile difficulties
were elevated only among men with diagnosed diabetes (2.51 [1.53 to 4.14]). Women with
undiagnosed diabetes were less likely to have discussed sex with a physician (11%) than women
with diagnosed diabetes (19%) and men with undiagnosed (28%) or diagnosed (47%) diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS Many middle-age and older adults with diabetes are sexually active and
engage in sexual behaviors similarly to individuals without diabetes. Women with diabetes were
more likely than men to cease all sexual activity. Older women with diabetes are as likely to have
sexual problems but are significantly less likely than men to discuss them.

Data are weighted prevalence % (95% CI). *Diagnosed diabetes: self-report, or taking diabetes medication. A1C value was not used as a criterion for classifying individuals as diagnosed diabetes. Undiagnosed
diabetes: no self-report or diabetes medication but have A1C 6.0 %. No diabetes: no self-report or diabetes medication and A1C 6.0. Race or ethnic group was determined on the basis of the questions Do you
consider yourself primarily white or Caucasian, black or African American, American Indian, Asian, or something else? and Do you consider yourself Hispanic or Latino? Six respondents who reported being both
Hispanic and black or African American were included in the black group. Vocational certification, some college level training, or associates degree. Insurance types not mutually exclusive. #Health status was
self-reported in response to the question, Would you say your health is excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor? Specific comorbid conditions were also self-reported in response to the question, Has a medical doctor
ever told you that you have any of the following conditions? with the option to choose all that apply. **The Katz modification of the Charlson index was used to assess comorbidities. Conditions included myocardial
infarction, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, connective tissue disease, ulcer disease, chronic pulmonary disease, cerebrovascular disease, dementia, liver disease, and renal disease. Diabetes was
excluded (16). The 11-item Iowa short form of the CES-D scale was used to assess depressive symptoms (18).

*All odds ratios are adjusted for age-group, comorbidities, and depression unless otherwise noted. The unadjusted model was used because of the small number
of cases. Respondents were asked about this activity or behavior if they reported having sex in the previous 12 months. This question was asked of all respondents
by means of a self-administered questionnaire. Association with diabetes status was significant at P 0.05. Kissing, hugging, caressing, or other ways of sexual
