dc.description.abstractObjectives:This study aimed to examine the relationship between vaginal aging and sexual quality of life in postmenopausal women. Methods:A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 210 postmenopausal women aged 45 to 59 years. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Daily Effects of Vaginal Aging Scale, and the Sexual Quality of Life Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results:A statistically significant negative correlation was found between vaginal aging and sexual quality of life (r=-0.533, P<0.001). A one-unit increase in vaginal aging was associated with a 0.506-unit decrease in sexual quality of life score (B=-0.506, P<0.001). Conclusions:Vaginal aging was significantly associated with lower sexual quality of life in postmenopausal women. These findings suggest that addressing vaginal aging may contribute to enhancing sexual well-being in this population.
