Abstract

Purpose of review: Sexual dysfunction is commonly associated with overweight/obesity, but the underlying physiological and psychosocial mechanisms are not fully understood. This review contextualizes the obesity-sexual (dys)function relationship, describes recent insights from the medical and social science literature, and suggests opportunities for continued research.

Recent findings: Although sexual dysfunction has been historically evaluated as a consequence/outcome of obesity, it is increasingly considered as a harbinger of future metabolic comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Body image dissatisfaction is a consistent predictor for lower sexual satisfaction across BMI categories, likely mediated by cognitive distraction during partnered sex. To fully capture the relationship between obesity and sexual dysfunction, multidisciplinary research approaches are warranted. While clinically significant weight loss tends to improve sexual functioning for women and men, higher body image satisfaction may independently promote sexual function and satisfaction without concomitant weight loss.

肥胖背景下的性功能和满意度。

综述目的:性功能障碍通常与超重/肥胖相关，但其潜在的生理和社会心理机制尚不完全清楚。本文综述了肥胖与性功能之间的关系，描述了医学和社会科学文献的最新见解，并提出了继续研究的机会。最近的发现:虽然性功能障碍历来被认为是肥胖的后果/结果，但它越来越被认为是未来代谢合并症的前兆，包括2型糖尿病和心血管疾病。身体形象不满意是低性满意度的一致预测指标，可能是由伴侣性行为中的认知分心所介导的。为了充分了解肥胖和性功能障碍之间的关系，需要多学科的研究方法。虽然临床上显著的减肥倾向于改善女性和男性的性功能，但更高的身体形象满意度可能独立地促进性功能和满意度，而不会伴随体重减轻。

期刊介绍： The goal of this journal is to publish cutting-edge reviews on subjects pertinent to all aspects of diabetes epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management. We aim to provide incisive, insightful, and balanced contributions from leading experts in each relevant domain that will be of immediate interest to a wide readership of clinicians, basic scientists, and translational investigators. We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the discipline. Section Editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year on their topics, in a crisp and readable format. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
