The metabolic syndrome: a cause of sexual dysfunction in women
Document Actions
Authors of this small study conducted in premenopausal Italian women suggest that sexuality should be investigated in females with the metabolic syndrome. Compared with the control group (n = 80), women with the metabolic syndrome (n = 120) had reduced mean full Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) score and reduced satisfaction rate. Interestingly, there was an inverse relation between CRP levels and FSFI score (P=0.02)
