Fooladi E, Islam RM, Bell RJ, et al. - Via performing this study, researchers here investigated if midlife Australian and Iranian married women differ in terms of the prevalence of low sexual desire, sexually related personal distress, and epidemiological hypoactive sexual desire disorder (eHSDD). They conducted cross-sectional, community-based studies of women aged 40 to 65 years in Australia (2013-2014, n = 2,020) and Iran (2016-2017, n = 1,520) including 60% and 89% married women, respectively. Being sexually active was reported in 76.5% of the 1,210 Australian women, [mean age (SD) 52.4 (6.8) years] and 87.8% of the 1,348 Iranian women [mean age 48.5 (6.7) years] restricting the analysis to married women. Per findings, married Australian women had threefold prevalence of eHSDD at midlife of that reported for Iranian women, primarily due to the higher prevalence of sexually related personal distress.
