Objective:
To estimate the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in diabetic and nondiabetic Jordanian women.
Research Design And Methods:
Data were collected from 1,137 married women using the Arabic translation of the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire.
Results:
Prevalence of sexual dysfunction in diabetic women 50 years of age or older was 59.6 vs. 45.6% in nondiabetic women (P = 0.003). Diabetic women had more dysfunction of desire, arousal, lubrication, and orgasm than nondiabetic women. Glycemic control, smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, autonomic neuropathy, and peripheral neuropathy did not have a significant effect on FSD. Age, BMI, duration of diabetes, and the presence of coronary artery disease, nephropathy, and retinopathy had negative effects on FSD.
Conclusions:
Prevalence of FSD among Jordanian women was found to be significantly higher in diabetic compared with nondiabetic women.
