Descrição
Resumo:Introduction: Self-reported health is a widely used epidemiological measure of health, being an individual subjective assessment of health that ranges from excellent to poor. Sexual function is of significant importance to many women across all age groups, as having a satisfactory and functional sex life is a crucial factor in determining overall well-being and quality of life. Aim: to compare the sexual function of Brazilian women with different self-reported health perceptions. Methods: the present study is characterized as a cross-sectional observational study, following the standards proposed by Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE). It was carried out between August 2021 and March 2023, with a sample of 285 Brazilian women, who responded to a sociodemographic, clinical, obstetric and lifestyle characterization form, in addition to the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. Results: The main result was that women who self-report that they have “very good” health have better sexual function, when compared to those with regular health. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that there is a difference in sexual function when comparing Brazilian women with different perceptions of self-reported health.
