Middle Age Sexual Satisfaction: A Potential Early Sign of Cognitive Decline

Researchers found lower sexual satisfaction in middle age may be a warning sign of future cognitive decline. The study examined associations between erectile function, sexual satisfaction, and cognition in hundreds of middle-aged men, discovering a correlation between declines in sexual satisfaction and future memory loss. This study tracks sexual satisfaction, sexual health, and cognition over time, revealing a novel potential risk factor for cognitive decline. While the causality remains uncertain, this relationship suggests that improving sexual satisfaction might positively affect memory function.Researchers found lower sexual satisfaction in middle age may be a warning sign of future cognitive decline.
