Abstract

We studied sexual dysfunction (SD) prevalence and lack of sexual activity in 117 women undergoing coronary angiography. SD was consistent with a low (≤26.55) Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire (FSFI) score. The mean age was 61.8 years (range: 40–75 years). SD prevalence was 76.1% (n = 89), and 41 (35.0%) women reported a lack of sexual activity. Regression analyses showed that only age was independently associated with SD (odds ratio 1.088; 95% confidence interval 1.024–1.157; p = .006) and lack of sexual activity (odds ratio 1.144; 95% confidence interval 1.064–1.230; p <.0001), regardless of cardiovascular risk factors, inflammatory biomarkers blood levels, and the number of stenotic coronary arteries.
