The questionnaire evaluated female sexual function through 19-items. Metabolic syndrome was defined as meeting at least three of the five following criteria: impaired glucose tolerance; waist circumference greater than 88 cm; triglycerides 150 mg/dL or greater; HDL cholesterol less than 50 mg/dL; and systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mm Hg or diastolic BP of at least 85 mm Hg, or a diagnosis of hypertension or current antihypertensive medication use.
Compared with participants without metabolic syndrome, participants with metabolic syndrome had lower sexual desire (P = .0401) and lower arousal (P = .0086) scores, individually and combined (P = .0047). Reported orgasm frequency was lower (P = .0427), and the prevalence of orgasm dysfunction (P = .0134) was higher among participants with metabolic syndrome.
