Sexual health in older Nigerians is shaped by a complex interplay of cultural norms, structural neglect, and limited policy attention. Integrating age-sensitive and gender-sensitive approaches into geriatric care and sexual and reproductive health programming is essential to meet the needs of this growing population.
