Sexual health and well-being is important for middle-aged and older adults, but knowledge is limited on prevalence and determinants in countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. We analyzed cross-sectional data collected in 2021 from married or cohabitating adults age ≥ 40 in Nouna, Burkina Faso. Sexual health and well-being were measured using the Sexual Relationships and Activities Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic models were used to describe the dimensions of sexual health and well-being—including levels of sexual activity, sexual function, and sexual health concerns—and their associations with age, sex, and education. Among 2336 individuals (56.8% men; mean age 53.2 years) almost all reported having a sexual partner (96.0% men, 93.2% women) in the last year. Men reported more frequent sexual thoughts (71.8% versus 51.2%) and sexual activity (69.4% versus 46.4%, both p p p p p p p = 0.012). Married and co-habitating middle-aged and older respondents in Nouna reported high rates of sexual activity, with variability in other areas of sexual health and well-being, identifying areas where more research and interventions are needed
