HEALTH : Coffee Spices Sex for the Elderly
From Times Wire Services
ROYAL OAK, Mich. —
Older couples who drink coffee appear to be more sexually active than elderly non-coffee drinkers, according to a new study.
In response to a survey, 62% of married women 60 and older who drink coffee said they are sexually active. Forty percent of women older than 60 who do not drink coffee said they are active.
Among married men the same ages, 36% of coffee drinkers said they sometimes were impotent, compared with 59% of those who don’t drink coffee.
The study in the January issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine did not give a margin of error for the survey of 744 Michigan residents done by Dr. Ananias Diokno of William Beaumont Hospital in suburban Detroit.
