Introduction: Sexual dysfunction is more common among women, with prevalence ranging from 25 to 63% in those over 18 years of age. Through the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire, in this study we aim to estimate the frequency of sexual dysfunctions in adult women from two Family Health Teams in Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in these populations and investigate the relationship between sociodemographic variables and the domains represented in the FSFI score. Methods: The FSFI questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of sexual dysfunctions, and an analysis of sociodemographic variables among the health units was performed. Adult women seen at two Family Health Teams in Florianópolis were included. Results: The overall prevalence of FSD was 67.8%, with a homogeneous distribution among different health units and sociodemographic variables. We observed associations between years of formal education and higher rates of FSD, especially in the domains of desire, arousal, and lubrication, and between older age and better performance in the domains of desire and arousal. Conclusions: The high prevalence of female sexual disorders in Florianópolis, homogeneously distributed among the sociodemographic variables studied, underscores the importance of training healthcare professionals in addressing these issues in Primary Health Care.
