This study reviews the facts concerning sexuality in elderly people, because of the paucity of information.

The aims are to determine the prevalence of sexual behaviour in subjects included in Psychogeriatric pratices.

We conducted a retrospective cross sectional study in a long term care psychiatry consultation service, community geriatric service and an inpatient unit in Porto, Portugal.

In this study sexual innapropriate behaviour was seen in all stages of dementia. Sexuality is an essential part of a person's personality.
