Background: Proper sexual function is an important factor that affects family strength. Recently, the issue of obesity and the influence of body mass index (BMI) on sexual function have received increasing research attention. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sexual function and its domains with obesity and central obesity. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 514 women aged 15 -45 years who presented at Shiraz healthcare centers in 2014 -2015. Simple random sampling was performed. Data were collected by applying the female sexual function index (FSFI), weight, and meter. The questionnaire consisted of 19 questions that evaluated six domains, as follows: sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. Scores < 28 on the questionnaire were considered to represent sexual dysfunction. The results were analyzed using the t-test, Fisher test, Chi-square test, and Pearson correlation coefficient.

“…Of the 9 articles studied in the meta-analysis, a weak and inverse relationship was reported between body mass index and sexual dysfunction (14,20) in two studies, and a strong relationship was found in two other studies (24,26). However in five cases, no relationship was reported between these concepts (19,(21)(22)(23)25). In general, the pooled results of this study showed a weak and inverse relationship (Pooled Correlation = -0.222; 95% CI -0.362 -0.073) between body mass index and sexual dysfunction in women (Figure 2).…”

“…Many studies have been done around the world on the correlation between body mass index and sexual dysfunction although their results have been contradictory (14,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). For example, a study by Esposito et al (2007) indicated that BMI was strongly associated with female sexual dysfunction (26).…”

“…For example, a study by Esposito et al (2007) indicated that BMI was strongly associated with female sexual dysfunction (26). On the contrary, this relationship was not significant in the Abidin (2016) and Erbil (2013) studies (19,21). To have a full picture of the relationship between body mass index and sexual dysfunction in women, this meta-analysis was conducted to pool the results of the current observational Copyright © 2017, Shiraz E-Medical Journal.…”
