Sexuality and the older woman.
Problems in defining, reporting, and sampling the sexual experience of older women have limited the available information. It should be remembered, however, that an aging population is a sign of societal success, not failure. To date, there has not been a better educated, healthier, wealthier, better-housed, or more self-sufficient generation of older women that at present. Working in the area of sexuality can help improve an important issue in the quality of life for the older woman.
