Prevalence and risk factors for sexual dysfunction in reproductive‐aged married women: A cross‐sectional epidemiological study

Aim We aimed (i) to evaluate the point prevalence for sexual dysfunction in a population of reproductive‐aged married women living in an urban area in Isparta, Turkey, (ii) to examine demographic and psychosocial risk factors for sexual dysfunction. Methods In a cross‐sectional design, following single‐stage cluster sampling all married women living in three representative areas (n = 1323) were approached at their place of residence. Female sexual dysfunction, poor mental health and marital adjustment were assessed with the 9‐item Index of Female Sexual Function, the 12‐item General Health Questionnaire, and Locke‐Wallace Short Marital‐Adjustment Test, respectively. Descriptive data were presented as frequencies, percentages and mean ± standard deviations. Chi‐square and independent samples t‐test were used for univariate analysis. Logistic regression model was constructed to define independent risk factors for sexual dysfunction. P
