%X BACKGROUND: Sexual dysfunction is a common, still poorly understood problem among women. Being or not in a relationship seems to be a risk factor for sexual dysfunction. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the presence of sexual problems, anxiety, and depression in young women and to correlate findings with current relationship status (single, in a committed relationship, or married). METHODS: Data were collected trough an online survey from a total of 155 women aged between 20 and 29 years. Sociodemographic data were collected, and both the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale and the Female Sexual Function Index were applied. Data were statistically analyzed using the chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests, and groups were compared in 2 x 2 matrices using the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: Single women showed a significantly higher prevalence of problems in the lubrication (45.3%), orgasm (53.1%), satisfaction (67.2%), and pain (50%) domains and also in total Female Sexual Function Index scores (60.9%) in comparison with the other groups. Additionally, significantly higher depression scores were found among single women (5.89¡À3.3) in comparison to those in a committed relationship (4.05¡À2.83). Anxiety scores were similar in all groups. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that single women have a poorer sexual function and are more likely to have mood disorders in comparison to their peers involved in stable relationships. CONTEXTO: Disfun  o sexual ¨¦ um problema comum e ainda pouco compreendido entre mulheres. Estar ou n o em um relacionamento parece ser um fator de risco para disfun  o sexual. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a presen a de problemas sexuais, ansiedade e depress o em jovens mulheres e correlacionar os achados ao estado de relacionamento atual (solteiras, em relacionamento s¨¦rio ou casadas). M¨¦TODOS: Dados foram coletados atrav¨¦s de pesquisa on-line de um total de 155 mulheres com idade entre 20 e 29 anos. Foram coletados dados sociodemogr¨¢ficos, e a Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depress o e o ¨ªndice de Fun  o Sexual Feminina foram aplicados. Os dados foram analisados atrav¨¦s dos testes qui-quadrado e Kruskal-Wallis, e os grupos foram comparados dois a dois atrav¨¦s do teste Mann-Whitney. RESULTADOS: Mulheres solteiras apresentaram uma preval¨ºncia significativamente maior de problemas nos dom¨ªnios lubrifica  o (45,3%), orgasmo (53,1%), satisfa  o (67,2%) e dor (50%), e tamb¨¦m no escore total do ¨ªndice de Fun  o Sexual Feminina (60,9%), em compara  o aos outros grupos. Al¨¦m disso, foram observados escores estatisticamente superiores para depress o em mulheres solteiras
