Abstract

The article presents a study of the impact of sexual dysfunction on the health-related quality of life (HrQoL) of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using The Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire-19 (MSISQ-19). The study used multivariate hierarchial regression analyses to examine the impact of sexual dysfunction. Results showed that sexual dysfunction has larger detrimental impact on the mental health aspects of HrQoL than physical disability.
