The study population comprised 2518 Dutch-speaking women aged \u226518\u00a0years, representing a cross section of the general Dutch population. The PISQ-12 was used to assess sexual functioning in heterosexual women. The Groningen Defecation and Fecal Continence questionnaire was utilized to demonstrate demographic factors.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We established age-specific reference scores for the PISQ-12 in the general Dutch population.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of the 2518 women, 1592 (63.2%) were sexually active and 926 (36.8%) were not. Further analysis focused on the sexually active group: we found a decrease in mean total PISQ scores, ranging from 38.34 among 18- to 34-year-olds to 36.98 among \u226565-year-olds. Older women scored lower in the behavior domain, specifically pertaining to sexual desire (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) and sexual excitement (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u00a0.001). They also had lower scores in the partner-related domain regarding partner problems of erection (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) and orgasm perception (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). With increasing age, negative emotional reaction scores were higher (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u00a0.001). In the physical domain, we observed significantly different scores for pain during sexual intercourse (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) and restrictions in sexual activity due to fear of urinary leakage (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), with the lowest scores in the youngest group.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>These age-specific references scores of the PISQ-12 provide an overview of sexual functioning of a general population, which enables caregivers to assess and interpret patients\u2019 individual scores more accurately.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Strengths and Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We included only sexually active women in our subanalyses, potentially introducing selection bias for older women with better physical conditions. The study\u2019s strength lies in its extensive sample size, representing a cross section of the general Dutch population.
