The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics using the Epi-Info version 7.0 software. The work was submitted and approved by the Research Ethics Committee considering it is a rsearch oh human beigns. Results: The average age was 46.8 years (± 13.2). Education level was 25% higher (n = 20). Regarding marital status, socioeconomic status and professional one, 36.3% (n = 29) declared themselves married, 51.2% (n = 41) from the middle class and 33.8 (n = 27) doing “home” activity. The QS-F had an overall average of 45.5 points (± 23.9), ranging from 10 to 84 points. Adopting the stratified classification, it was observed that a big number of women, 85% (n = 68), were classified as regular or inferior. There was a statistically significant difference between the strata of the QS-F and the socioeconomic level. Conclusion: The present study corroborates with the literature used in several areas, since most of the women questioned showed low and unsatisfactory sexual function according to the QS-F.
