“…In the present study, FSD has been reported to be more prevalent among participants who have lower levels of education. This result is similar to other study results, [22,45,47] but contrarily to other studies results. [43,48] With regard to having a job, non-job status was significantly high among sexual dysfunction women while professional work was high among women without sexual dysfunction.…”

“…As for body mass index (BMI), no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups regarding their body mass index whereas the most women of both groups were overweight and obese. This result is accordance with previous other studies results [37,46,47,50] while it is a contrast to other. [51] The differences in the menstrual, obstetric parameters and number of living children among female without sexual dysfunction and dysfunctional sexual women were statistically insignificant.…”

Background and objective: Sexual dysfunction is a significant public health problem that is more common among women than in men. The women sexual dysfunction and the factors influencing it have not yet been fully investigated. Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate sexual dysfunction and its associated factors among women in childbearing age, Egypt. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional survey involving 780 non-pregnant sexual active females aged 15-51 years old who were recruited into the study by random sampling. The study population was selected from health facilities which affiliated to the ministry of health in Damietta Governorate. Interview tools used to collect data related to female and male partner. Results: A total of 780 women in childbearing age were enrolled. More than half of the studied women have sexual dysfunction versus 46.9% without sexual function. 22.3% of sexual dysfunction women have mild dysfunction, 18.5% of them have moderate dysfunction, and 12.3% have severe dysfunction. Desire disorder was the most common sexual disorder among participants (67.3%), followed by arousal disorder (55.8%). There was a statistically significant correlation between female sexual dysfunction and husband's age, educational level and husbands suffer from depression, heavy smokers and hypnotic drugs used. Female sexual dysfunction was found among older age, low educated and non-workers females, as well as women, suffer chronic disease, genital inflammation, and stress. Conclusions: Sexual dysfunction is prevalent among women, so further study based on a comprehensive survey is necessarily needed.

“…8,33 Furthermore, female sexual dysfunction is observed in women with other risk factors such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome. 26,34 Considering diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for sexual dysfunction, AlMogbel et al 35 investigated the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus to determine whether age, glycemic control and obesity are associated with female sexual dysfunction. In this study, obesity was linked with a slight increase in sexual dysfunction; the prevalence of dysfunction among women with type 2 diabetes was high (88.7%) and increased with age (92% in the over 50-year-old age group).…”

Obesity is a modern disease that may be associated with sexual dysfunction, the inability to participate in a pleasurable sexual relationship. Sexual dysfunction is more common in women than men. The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors for sexual dysfunction in obese women. Articles in English and Portuguese published between 1996 and 2018 in the Medline/PubMed and SciELO databases were identified using the terms "sexuality" AND "sexual dysfunction" AND "obesity" AND "overweight" AND "body mass index" AND "women". The results showed that female sexual dysfunction, a complex multifactorial disease that is correlated to health status, can be influenced by obesity. Thus, it can be concluded that weight loss, lifestyle changes and a healthy diet, treatment of complications associated with obesity, and use of non-hormonal contraceptives can lead to an improvement in female sexual function and, consequently, the quality of life of women.

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common health problem that is inadequately investigated in Saudi Arabia. Aim: To assess the prevalence and predictors of FSD in a sample of Saudi women attending the primary care and gynecology clinics. Methods: A cross-sectional clinic-based survey involved Saudi women attending primary care and gynecology clinics in a teaching hospital in Riyadh during the period from January to June 2019. Data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire. Female sexual function has been evaluated by the Arabic version of the Female Sexual Function Index. Main outcome measures: The main outcome measure of this study was female sexual function using the Arabic version of the Female Sexual Function Index. Results: 200 Saudi women were included in this study. Their age ranged from 18 to 50 years. Most of the participants (88.5%) were fairly satisfied or satisfied with their spouse's sexual ability and 120 (60%) had a risk of FSD. Participants with FSD reported the lowest scores for arousal and desire domains (3.03 ± 1.3 and 3.12 ± 1.1, respectively) followed by orgasm domain (3.48 ± 1.4). Predictive factors for risk of FSD in our participants were age greater than 40 years (P ¼ .012), unemployment (P ¼ .035), low/moderate family income (P ¼ .014), dissatisfaction with the spouse's sexual ability (P ¼ .005), and higher weight (P ¼ .010) and height (P ¼ .043). Only age greater than 40 years (P ¼ .041), low family income (P ¼ .007), and dissatisfaction with spouse's sexual ability (P ¼ .011) sustained independent significance in a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: A high prevalence of FSD was encountered in our sample of Saudi women. Desire and arousal were the most significantly affected domains followed by orgasmic problems. Age greater than 40 years, low socioeconomic level, and dissatisfaction with the spouse's sexual ability are the most significant predictors. Madbouly K, Al-Anazi M, Al-Anazi H, et al.
