Abstract

The study of sexuality in the ageing population had a more recent development than other topics, even though it is undoubling its relevance as part of the well-being of each individual. Therefore, to advance more in research is essential to look back and have a prospect of what kind of research has been done on it, identifying gaps in the literature for future studies. This paper aims to present a panorama of the research on sexuality and ageing in Latin America for the last five years (2017–2021). The data collection was done through the Web of Science platform and focused on those papers with the SciELO Citation Index, one of the most prestigious indexations among Latin-American journals. There were included papers from Latin-American countries written in Spanish or English. There were analyzed 26 research articles in total. The results give a panorama of what had been done in studies about sexuality and ageing in Latin America. Among those highlights, the absence of studies concentrates only on sexuality and ageing. Also, more quantitative studies are not comparable between countries, cross-sectional and descriptive. Finally, it is identified some gaps and challenges that need to be addressed by researchers in the future.

拉丁美洲的性与老龄化：2017-2021 年系统回顾

与其他课题相比，对老龄人口性行为的研究是最近才开始的，尽管作为每个人福祉的一部分，它的相关性正在成倍增长。因此，要想在研究方面取得更多进展，就必须回顾过去，展望未来，找出文献中的空白点，以便今后开展研究。本文旨在介绍过去五年（2017-2021 年）拉丁美洲性与老龄化研究的全景。数据收集是通过 Web of Science 平台进行的，重点关注那些具有 SciELO 引文索引的论文，该索引是拉丁美洲期刊中最负盛名的索引之一。这些论文来自拉美国家，用西班牙语或英语撰写。共分析了 26 篇研究文章。结果概括了拉丁美洲在性与老龄化研究方面所做的工作。其中的亮点是，缺乏只关注性行为和老龄化的研究。此外，更多的定量研究在国家之间不具有可比性、横截面性和描述性。最后，确定了研究人员今后需要解决的一些差距和挑战。

期刊介绍： As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
