Abstract: ABSTRACT: Sexual desire is influenced by psychological and physiological factors, and dissatisfaction with one's own body can lead women to experience reduced pleasure, resulting in sexual dissatisfaction. Understanding the relationship between body dissatisfaction and sexual dissatisfaction is important for guiding women's health interventions within Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS). This study aimed to examine the relationship between body satisfaction and sexual activity among women attending a Primary Health Care Unit. This is an epidemiological, observational, cross-sectional study conducted in a Primary Health Care Unit in Guarapuava, Paraná, Brazil. Data collection involved a structured questionnaire completed by 326 women. Sexual satisfaction was assessed using the Sexual Quotient - Female Version (QS-F), and body image was evaluated with Stunkard’s Silhouette Scale. The analysis of the variables was conducted using Poisson regression to calculate crude and adjusted Prevalence Ratios (PR) with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI). The sample consisted of women with an average age of 33.52, predominantly white, in relationships, employed, with children, sexually satisfied, and dissatisfied with their body. A statistical association was found between sexual dissatisfaction and factors such as average age (p < 0.05), having children (p < 0.001), being in menopause (p < 0.001), and body dissatisfaction (p < 0.05). Sexual dissatisfaction was more prevalent among women dissatisfied with their bodies, both in crude and adjusted analyses. The study concludes that there is a relationship between body image dissatisfaction and sexual dissatisfaction among women.
