    • A structured psychological and neuropsychological assessment is necessary to determine sexual consent capacity.
    • Existing frameworks for capacity assessment can be adapted for this specific context.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychologists play a vital role in evaluating sexual consent capacity in older adults with cognitive impairments.
    • A comprehensive assessment approach is needed to protect vulnerable elderly individuals.
