Abstract

Introduction: The psychological and behavioral symptoms of dementia are frequently observed in clinical practice, and those related to sexuality are particularly challenging. However, few studies have evaluated the prevalence or factors associated with hypersexuality in patients with dementia.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the prevalence of hypersexuality in patients with dementia, describe associated factors, and qualitatively report the most common presentations and treatments.

Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study collected data from semi-structured charts of dementia patients who were followed up at a secondary care reference center between 2015 and 2019. Results: Of 552 total patients, 52 (9.3%) were hypersexual, which was associated with male sex (P < .000; OR 2.95, 95% CI 1.73-5.01), frontotemporal dementia (P < .007), alcohol use (P < .015; OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.16-4.73) and tobacco use (P < .000; OR 2.88, 95% CI 1.61-5.13).

Conclusions: Although our findings were similar to the literature, their significant variability reflects the limited and low quality of the available evidence and a lack of standardization regarding terminology, definitions, and diagnostic criteria for hypersexuality.

痴呆症患者性欲亢进的患病率及相关因素：一项回顾性横断面研究。

简介临床实践中经常观察到痴呆症的心理和行为症状，而与性有关的症状尤其具有挑战性。然而，很少有研究对痴呆症患者性欲亢进的患病率或相关因素进行评估：本研究旨在确定痴呆症患者性欲亢进的患病率，描述相关因素，并定性报告最常见的表现和治疗方法：这项回顾性横断面研究从2015年至2019年期间在一家二级医疗参考中心接受随访的痴呆症患者的半结构化病历中收集数据。结果在552名患者中，52人（9.3%）性欲亢进，这与男性性别（P < .000；OR 2.95，95% CI 1.73-5.01）、额颞叶痴呆（P < .007）、饮酒（P < .015；OR 2.35，95% CI 1.16-4.73）和吸烟（P < .000；OR 2.88，95% CI 1.61-5.13）有关：虽然我们的研究结果与文献相似，但其显著的差异性反映了现有证据的有限性和低质量，以及性欲亢进的术语、定义和诊断标准缺乏标准化。
