PS-05-005 Bringing the body of the iceberg to the surface: the Female Sexual Dysfunction Index-6 (FSDI-6) in the screening of Female Sexual Dysfunction
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Elisa Maseroli, Egidia Fanni, Massimiliano Fambrini, B. Ragghianti, Erika Limoncin, Edoardo Mannucci, Mario Maggi, Linda VignozziAbstract:Purpose Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is a still poorly studied and underdiagnosed condition. The aim of the study was to produce an improved version of FSFI-6 (6-Item Version of the Female Sexual Function Index), entitled Female Sexual Dysfunction Index-6 (FSDI-6), and to estimate its accuracy as a screening instrument for FSD.

predictors of Female Sexual Dysfunction a systematic review and qualitative analysis through gender inequality paradigms
BMC Women's Health, 2018Co-Authors: Megan Mccoolmyers, Melissa A. Theurich, Andrea Zuelke, Helge Knuettel, Christian ApfelbacherAbstract:Female Sexual Dysfunction affects 41% of reproductive-age women worldwide, making it a highly prevalent medical issue. Predictors of Female Sexual Dysfunction are multifaceted and vary from country to country. A synthesis of potential risk factors and protective factors may aid healthcare practitioners in identifying populations at risk, in addition to revealing modifiable factors to prevent Sexual Dysfunction among reproductive-age women. Observational studies which assessed the prevalence and predictors of Female Sexual Dysfunction in reproductive-age women were systematically sought in relevant databases (2000–2014). Significant predictors were extracted from each included publication. A qualitative analysis of predictors was performed with a focus on types of Sexual regimes and level of human development. One hundred thirty-five studies from 41 countries were included in the systematic review. The types of predictors varied according to the location of the study, the type of Sexual regime and the level of gender inequality in that country/region. Consistently significant risk factors of Female Sexual Dysfunction were: poor physical health, poor mental health, stress, abortion, genitourinary problems, Female genital mutilation, relationship dissatisfaction, Sexual abuse, and being religious. Consistently significant protective factors included: older age at marriage, exercising, daily affection, intimate communication, having a positive body image, and sex education. Some factors however had an unclear effect: age, education, employment, parity, being in a relationship, frequency of Sexual intercourse, race, alcohol consumption, smoking and masturbation. The Sexual and reproductive lives of women are highly impacted by Female Sexual Dysfunction, and a number of biological, psychological and social factors play a role in the prevalence of Sexual Dysfunction. Healthcare professionals who work with women should be aware of the many risk factors for reproductive-age women. Future prevention strategies should aim to address modifiable factors, e.g. physical activity and access to sex education; international efforts in empowering women should continue.

The prevalence and predictors of Female Sexual Dysfunction. A systematic review and meta-analysis
2015Co-Authors: Megan E. Mccool, Melissa A. Theurich, Andrea Zuelke, Christian ApfelbacherAbstract:Objective To assess the prevalence and predictors of Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) among general populations of reproductive age women Methods We performed a systematic review of current literature on FSD from January 2000 until July 2014 (protocol registration: CRD42014009526). Observational studies which assessed the prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction were sought in relevant databases. The primary outcome of interest was the prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction in general populations of women age 49 and below. The secondary outcome was to determine significant predictors of Female Sexual Dysfunction. Publications which reported the prevalence rate for at least one domain of Female Sexual Dysfunction, according to DSM IV, were included. A first-ever meta-analysis was performed which integrated absolute numbers for prevalence rates and a quality score. Results Out of the 9292 results from the literature search, 183 international studies fulfilled all inclusion criteria for the systematic review; of these, 94 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Using a quality-weighted meta-analysis, the prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction was estimated to be 23% [95% CI: 11% to 38%]. Significant risk factors of FSD tend to be older age, low education, unemployment, depression, multiparity, chronic illness and menopause. Good physical health, regular exercise, liberal attitudes towards sex, moderate alcohol consumption, sex education and masturbation have been shown to have significant protective effects. Conclusion Since the last systematic review on FSD in 2004, population-based studies on FSD have increased in number and grown more varied in their cultural settings. The estimate of the prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction is lower than the frequently cited estimate of 43%. Identifying significant predictors of FSD may aid health professionals in determining at-risk populations.

Prevalence and predictors of Female Sexual Dysfunction: a protocol for a systematic review
Systematic reviews, 2014Co-Authors: Megan E. Mccool, Melissa A. Theurich, Christian ApfelbacherAbstract:Background: Sexual function is an essential component of life. For this reason, Sexual Dysfunction can have a negative impact on the wellbeing of men and women alike. Since the turn of the 21st century, research on Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) has gained momentum. While FSD is often assessed in people with ill health, Sexual Dysfunction is an illness of its own entity and is also prevalent in non-patient populations. A critical review of current literature on Female Sexual Dysfunction in general populations will shed light on possible determinants as well as at-risk groups. Thus, the aim of this systematic review is to assess the prevalence and the predictors of Female Sexual Dysfunction in general populations. Methods/Design: A systematic review of current literature on FSD will be performed. Studies will be considered for review if they report quantitative data on the prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction. Outcome measures will include the prevalence of FSD, the time period assessed, and significant predictors for each domain of FSD. The scientific databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science will be systematically searched in cooperation with a medical research librarian. Hand searches for further relevant publications will also be undertaken. Screening of search results and extraction of data from included studies will be conducted cooperatively by two authors. The quality of the studies will be appraised and documented. Results will be compiled and presented in evidence tables. Discussion: In the past decade, population-based studies on Female Sexual Dysfunction have increased in number and grown more varied in their cultural settings. This review aims to provide a current overview of the prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction in populations from various countries, cultures, and age groups in order to provide a better understanding of its effect on women's lives today.
