Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the relationship between physical activity level and sexual function in middle-aged women.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study with a sample of 370 middle-aged women (40-65 years old), treated at public health care facilities in a Brazilian city. A questionnaire was used containing enquiries on sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral characteristics: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), short form, and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).

RESULTS

The average age of the women studied was 49.8 years (± 8.1), 67% of whom exhibited sexual dysfunction (FSFI ≤ 26.55). Sedentary women had a higher prevalence (78.9%) of sexual dysfunction when compared to active (57.6%) and moderately active (66.7%) females (p = 0.002). Physically active women obtained higher score in all FSFI domains (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain) and total FSFI score (20.9), indicating better sexual function than their moderately active (18.8) and sedentary (15.6) counterparts (p <0.05).

CONCLUSION

Physical activity appears to influence sexual function positively in middle-aged women.

摘要

目的

探讨中年女性身体活动水平与性功能之间的关系。

方法

采用横断面研究，对巴西某城市公共卫生保健机构收治的370名中年女性（40 - 65岁）进行抽样调查。使用了一份包含社会人口学、临床和行为特征询问的问卷：国际身体活动问卷（IPAQ）简表和女性性功能指数（FSFI）。

结果

所研究女性的平均年龄为49.8岁（±8.1），其中67%表现出性功能障碍（FSFI≤26.55）。与活跃女性（57.6%）和中度活跃女性（66.7%）相比，久坐不动的女性性功能障碍患病率更高（78.9%）（p = 0.002）。身体活跃的女性在FSFI所有领域（性欲、性唤起、润滑、性高潮、满意度和疼痛）及FSFI总分（20.9）上得分更高，表明其性功能优于中度活跃（18.8）和久坐不动（15.6）的女性（p <0.05）。
