conferenceObject EFFECT OF ISOFLAVONE AND/OR COUNSELING ON SEXUAL FUNCTION DURING THE MENOPAUSAL TRANSITION: A PILOT STUDY(2015) FLEURY, H.; ABDO, C.- Função sexual e qualidade de vida em gestantes de baixo risco(2012) FERREIRA, Denise Queiroz; NAKAMURA, Mary Uchiyama; SOUZA, Eduardo de; MARIANI NETO, Corintio; RIBEIRO, Meireluci Costa; SANTANA, Tânia das Graças Mauadie; ABDO, Carmita Helena NajjarPURPOSE: To evaluate, in healthy women in the second trimester of pregnancy, a possible association between sexual function and quality of life, and between sexual function and sexual satisfaction. METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved 51 pregnant women managed at a low-risk antenatal care clinic. Sexual function was evaluated through the Sexual Quotient - Female Version (QS-F) questionnaire. Quality of life and sexual satisfaction were evaluated though the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-bref). Inclusion criteria were pregnancy between 15-26 weeks, maternal age 20 or more years, at least five years of scholling, in a relationship with a single partner for the last 6 months, having sexual intercourse with vaginal penetration in the last 15 days. We excluded women with a history of sexual violence, previous or current depression, habitual abortion or obstetric complications in the index pregnancy (premature rupture of membranes, preterm labor or hemorrhage). The χ² and Fisher exact tests were used for statistical analyses and p<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Most of the participants (64.8%) obtained ""regular to excellent"" grades on the QS-F and 58.8% classified their quality of life as ""good"". As to sexual satisfaction, 35.3 and 15.7% declared that they were ""satisfied"" and ""very satisfied"" with their sexual life, respectively. The study detected significant associations between ""bad to poor"" QS-F grades with a ""poor"" quality of life (p=0.002), and with ""regular to good"" and ""good to excellent"" QS-F grades with ""satisfaction"" or ""high"" sexual satisfaction"" (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Sexual function is associated with quality of life and with sexual satisfaction in healthy women in the second trimester of pregnancy.

N.; AFIF-ABDO, João- Compulsive sexual behavior and psychopathology among treatment-seeking men in Sao Paulo, Brazil(2013) SCANAVINO, Marco de Tubino; VENTUNEAC, Ana; ABDO, Carmita Helena Najjar; TAVARES, Hermano; AMARAL, Maria Luiza Sant'Ana do; MESSINA, Bruna; REIS, Sirlene Caramello dos; MATTINS, Joao Paulo Lian Branco; PARSONS, Jeffrey T.This study examined compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) and psychopathology in a treatment-seeking sample of men in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Eighty-six men (26% gay, 17% bisexual, 57% heterosexual) who met diagnostic criteria for excessive sexual drive and sexual addiction completed assessments consisting of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, a structured clinical interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders Clinical Version (segment for Impulse Control Disorder), Sexual Compulsivity Scale (SCS), and questions about problematic CSB. The average SCS score for our sample was above the cut-off score reported in other studies, and 72% of the sample presented at least one Axis I psychiatric diagnosis. There were no differences among gay, bisexual, and heterosexual men on SCS scores and psychiatric conditions, but gay and bisexual men were more likely than heterosexual men to report casual sex and sex with multiple casual partners as problematic behaviors. SCS scores were associated with psychiatric co-morbidities, mood disorder, and suicide risk, but diagnosis of a mood disorder predicted higher SCS scores in a regression analysis. The study provides important data on the mental health needs of men with CSB in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

H.- Proportion of ALGBT adult Brazilians, sociodemographic characteristics, and self-reported violence(2022) SPIZZIRRI, Giancarlo; EUFRASIO, Rai Alvares; ABDO, Carmita Helena Najjar; LIMA, Maria Cristina PereiraAsexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (ALGBT) individuals face worse life conditions and violence rates than their heterosexual cisgender counterparts. Brazil is often highlighted for having one of the highest rates of hate-related homicides against ALGBTs in the world. However, to date, Brazil's ALGBT population has not been investigated with a representative sample, and basic information such as population size or sociodemographic characteristics are mostly based in non-systematic data. We aimed to assess the proportion of asexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and non-binary adults in Brazil, their sociodemographic characteristics, and self-reported violence rates. In 2018, a sample (n = 6000) of the Brazilian adult population answered a face-to-face survey assessing sociodemographic characteristics, gender identity, sexual orientation, and self-reported psychological, physical, verbal, and sexual violence. Among Brazilian adults, 12.04% are ALGBT: 5.76% asexual, 0.93% lesbian, 1.37% gay, 2.12% bisexual, 0.68 trans, and 1.18% non-binary. Compared to heterosexual cisgender men, most ALGBT individuals have worse socioeconomic indicators and higher rates of self-reported psychological and verbal violence. All ALGBT groups and heterosexual cisgender women reported sexual violence more often than heterosexual cisgender men. It was reported between 4 up to 25 times more often by heterosexual cisgender women and trans individuals, respectively. The rates of the other ALGBT groups sit among the two. Our findings provide evidence of the important size of the ALGBT Brazilian population, as well as their socioeconomic vulnerability, and concerning violence levels experienced by the group. Policy makers may refer to the present article in order to mitigate this population's vulnerability and to better understand its sociodemographic characteristics.
