Sexual
health is considered of fundamental importance in people’s lives. Since it is determined
by physiological, psychological and social factors, the investigations of these
aspects are relevant to full comprehension of this phenomenon. Endocrinological
conditions, as overweighed and normal body mass indexes were addressed as the
main factors in women’ sexual function, which can affect level of sexual
hormones; and as a consequence, lead to sexual dysfunction. Body mass index of
370 women were analyzed to indentify the implications in their sexual life,
using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) inventory, with six domains that
assess different aspects of women’ sexual activity and satisfaction. The main
results show no statistical differences between normal and overweighed body
mass index. However, there were significant differences between different
phases of life as Reproductive, Perimenopause, and Postmenopause women, in
which the youngsters showed better FSFI scores, better sexual function, than
the older ones. Also, significant differences were found when time of marriage
was taken into account, the longer the relationship, the worse the sexual
function. We concluded that not only endocrinological variables may explain the
sexual function in women, but also psychosocial variables as age, and time and
quality of their relationships.
