Ueda (2020) found similar trends in sexual inactivity comparing 2008 and 2018. Among men aged 25 to 34 it was 7.0% vs 14.1% (aOR for trend, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.07-1.42) and for women 7.0% vs 12.6% (aOR for trend, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.01-1.35).<ref>https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/article-abstract/2767066</ref> | Ueda (2020) found similar trends in sexual inactivity comparing 2008 and 2018.
