International Journal of Eating Disorders Sep 04, 2020
Price T, Zebitz M, Giraldi A, et al. - A systematic scoping review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses Guidelines, synthesizes the current literature concerning sexual function and dysfunction in women with anorexia nervosa (AN). Researchers carried out to search PubMed, EMBASE, and PsychInfo for literature published until April 2020. A total of 28 studies were included in the review. In women with AN, sexual dysfunction is common. This study's findings demonstrate that sexual dysfunction is a relevant clinical problem and clinicians should sensitively incorporate questions related to sexual function into their eating disorder evaluations. Further study, applying more robust designs, and validated outcome measures, is required to better understand causal pathways between the biological and psychosocial correlates of AN and sexual dysfunction.
