WONG CORRALES, Luis Armando et al. Sexuality in elder people from the Parrish Dalla Costa, Municipality of Caroní: Bolivar State. Venezuela 2008. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1684-1824.

We developed a descriptive study in 100 60-years-old and more people, from the Parrish Dalla Costa, Municipality of Caroní, Bolivar State, with the objective of evaluating sexual behavior in elder people. We prepared a questionnaire answering our objectives. Most of the elder people referred lack of privacy for sexual relations. It was notable that more than a half of the people referred having active sexual relations and that most of them consider these relations are pleasant and normal. In this theme the information was still considered deficient so we recommend developing a better educative work with elder people on this so important aspect for their life quality.
