Sexual Activity at Midlife
Captions available
The idea
Most midlife adults remain sexually active, though less often, and poorer health predicts decline more than reproductive change does.
In practice
In one survey, thirty-three percent of men and twenty-three percent of women reported weekly sex.
Where people slip
Sexual activity is associated with lower depression and better cognition, but the links are bidirectional and correlational.
