Abstract:
Interview about sexual activity has been performed in 764 male subjects from 20 to 65 years old at 4 areas: Kimbang (Ha nam province), Chi Linh (Hai duong province), Cao Lanh (Dong Thap province), and University of Agriculture No1 (Hanoi). Results have shown that the prevalence of impotence is 15.7 percent, while sexual activity is decreased in 58.37 percent. The impairment of sexual activity is increasing with age and usually starting at ³40 years old (p<0.001). Sexual activity depends on occupation and work load and is decreased in smokers, alcohol consumers. In familial relationship, the decrease of sexual activity depends on female behavior and the number of children. In sum, it can be concluded that such factors as work load, anorexia, excess consumption of alcohol and stressful situation can be the cause of decreased sexual activity.
