RESUMEN

Introducción:

Colombia es el tercer país americano con mayor población afrodescendiente, después de Estados Unidos y Brasil.

Objetivo:

calcular la prevalencia de disfunción sexual (DS) en mujeres climatéricas afrodescendientes.

Metodología:

estudio transversal con el Índice de Función Sexual Femenina (FSFI), en mujeres afrodescendientes saludables (40-59 años), hijas de padres de raza negra, naturales de municipios del Caribe Colombiano, voluntarias, anónimas y captadas en sus comunidades. A mayor puntaje mejor sexualidad. La DS se establece con un puntaje total de 26,55 o menos.

Resultados:

se estudiaron 461 mujeres; 305 de ellas (66,2%) con actividad sexual, 70,8% eran premenopáusicas y 29,2%, posmenopáusicas. Los puntajes promedio de los dominios fueron deseo (4,1 ± 1,1), excitación (4,4 ± 1,0), lubricación (4,9 ± 1,0), orgasmo (4,7 ± 1,0), satisfacción (5,3 ± 1,0) y dolor (4,3 ± 1,5). La media del puntaje total fue 27,7 ± 4,7 y la prevalencia de disfunción sexual, 38,4%. El hábito de fumar (OR 3,3 [IC95% 1,0-10,6; p = 0,041] y la hipertensión arterial (OR 2,2 [IC95% 1,1-4,4; p = 0,026] incrementaron el riesgo de DS, mientras que la escolaridad mayor de diez años (OR 0,4 [IC95% 0,2-0,8; p = 0,003] lo redujo. La prevalencia de DS aumentó con el cambio en el estado menopáusico (p <0,001). Todos los dominios se deterioraron, excepto el dolor, con el paso a la posmenopausia (p <0,001).

Conclusión:

en mujeres afrodescendientes del Caribe Colombiano, una de cada tres premenopáusicas y la mitad de las posmenopáusicas presentan DS.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

After the United States and Brazil, Colombia is the third American country with the greatest population of African descent.

Objective:

To estimate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction (SD) in climacteric women of African descent.

Methods:

Cross sectional study carried out with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), in healthy women, whose mother and father were of black race, living in municipalities from the Colombian Caribbean region, who volunteered to anonymously participate in the study, and were recruited in their communities. Higher scores correlated with better sexuality.

Results:

461 women were studied; 305 (66.2%) with sexual activity; 70.8% were premenopausal and 29.2%, postmenopausal. Average scores of the domains were Sexual desire (4.1 ± 1.1), sexual arousal (4.4 ± 1.0), lubrication (4.9 ± 1.0), orgasm (4.7 ± 1.0), satisfaction (5.3 ± 1.0) and pain (4.3 ± 1.5). Average total score was 27.7 ± 4.7. Prevalence of SD was 38.4%. Smoking (OR 3.3 [IC95% 1.0-10.6; p = 0.041] and arterial hypertension (OR 2.2 [IC95%1.1-4.4; p = 0.026] increased the risk of SD, while schooling higher than ten years (OR 0.4 [IC95% 0.2-0.8; p = 0.003] decreased it. Prevalence of SD increased with the change in the menopausal status (p <0,001). All domains deteriorated, except pain, with the transition to the postmenopausal status (p <0.001).

Conclusion:

In females of African descent from the Colombian Caribbean region, one third of the premenopausal and half of the postmenopausal have SD.
