ORIGINAL RESEARCH-EPIDEMIOLOGY: Sexual Activity, Prevalence of Sexual Problems, and Associated Help‐Seeking Patterns in Men and Women Aged 40-80 Years in Korea: Data from the Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors (GSSAB)

Middle‐aged and older adults in Korea regard sex as an important part of life and report continued sexual activity. Several sexual problems are highly prevalent in this population, but very few individuals seek medical help for these disorders. This is largely due to believing that the problem is not serious, not being bothered by the problem, difficulties regarding access to or affordability of medical care, and/or a lack of awareness of available treatments.
