Abstract(s)
Vários estudos estabeleceram uma relação entre as disfunções sexuais e a obesidade, evidenciando que a obesidade se correlaciona com a insatisfação, redução do desejo e dificuldades no funcionamento sexual. Por conseguinte, procurou-se estudar o impacto da obesidade na prevalência de disfunções sexuais, bem como a relação entre o peso e a satisfação com a imagem corporal. Para o efeito foi recolhida uma amostra de 976 indivíduos (311 homens e 665 mulheres), com atividade sexual iniciada e numa faixa etária entre os 15 e os 40 anos. A maioria destes (61,2%) situavam-se no percentil de peso normal, 22,5% apresentavam excesso de peso e 11,4% eram obesos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Questionário de Satisfação com a Imagem Corporal (Raposo, 2004), um Questionário de Funcionamento Sexual (versão feminina e masculina) e um Questionário de Qualidade de Vida Sexual (versão masculina e feminina). Os resultados indicaram uma satisfação com a imagem corporal diferenciada entre homens e mulheres, assim como uma influência estatisticamente significativa da obesidade relativamente à satisfação com a imagem corporal. A análise do funcionamento sexual evidenciou a não dependência das variáveis Apreciação do Ato Sexual e Grau de Satisfação com o Funcionamento. Por último, constatou-se que as mulheres com baixo peso e/ ou peso normal manifestaram valores médios de qualidade de vida sexual mais elevados na dimensão emocional, comparativamente com as mulheres que apresentaram Obesidade do tipo 1 ou Severa. No que se refere à qualidade de vida sexual dos homens não se registaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas atribuíveis à obesidade.
Several studies have established a relationship between sexual dysfunction and obesity, showing that obesity is correlated with dissatisfaction, reduced desire and problems with sexual functioning. Therefore, it was tried to study the impact of obesity on the prevalence of sexual dysfunction as well as the relationship between weight and satisfaction with body image. For this purpose it was collected a sample of 976 individuals (311 men and 665 women) with sexual activity initiated and an age between 15 and 40. Most of these (61.2%) were in the percentile of normal weight, 22.5% were overweight and 11.4% were obese. The instruments used were the Questionnaire of Satisfaction with Body Image (Raposo, 2004), a Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (male and female version) and a Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire (male and female version). The results indicated differences with the satisfaction of body image between men and women, as well as a statistically significant influence of obesity on the satisfaction with body image. The analysis of sexual function showed no dependence on the variables Findings of the Act and Sexual Satisfaction with the operation. Finally, it was found that women with low weight and / or normal weight showed mean values of quality of sexual life on an emotional high, compared with women who had type 1 and Severe Obesity. With regard to the quality of sex life of men there were no statistically significant differences attributable to obesity.
