摘要：
Sexual activity in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a controversial issue. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of sexual activity and satisfaction between patients and their spouses. We studied patients diagnosed with possible or probable AD (n = 36) and their spouses. Both patients and spouses reported sexual dissatisfaction. Common causes of sexual dissatisfaction included erectile dysfunction and lack of female sexual desire. There was a positive relationship between sexual satisfaction and caregiver burden. Men associated sexual dissatisfaction with sadness, and women reported feelings of lack of intimacy and increased anxiety.
