Abstract
ABSTRACT While sexual health problems due to obesity is more pronounced in women than men, which biopsychosocial factors compound this effect is not clear. In this systematic review, the authors collected 63 studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria on the biopsychosocial factors associated with sexual problems in women with obesity and highlighted the gaps. More research and clinical attention on social context and intersectionality and its connections to other biopsychosocial factors are needed to better serve women with obesity and their romantic partners, as well as combat obesity and sexual health disparities. Recommendations for clinicians and researchers are provided.
