Zusammenfassung

Objective To describe frequency, characteristics and factors associated with urinary incontinence in patients over 25 who are referred to the Hospital Talavera de la Reina Physiotherapy Service for reasons other than UI factors. Material and methods A cross-sectional study that included 506 consecutive subjects in whom the ICIQ_IU_SF questionnaire validated for diagnosing UI and their types was performed. Results The frequency of UI was 15.6% (95% CI 10.7 to 20.5) in men and 55.6% (95% CI 49.8 to 61.9) in women. A significant association of UI with age (OR > 65 = 66.91, 95% CI 8.6 to 526.8, p < 0.001) and prostate problems (OR adjusted for age = 4.2, 95% CI 1.54 to 11.69, p = 0.005). was found in men. The factors associated with UI in women (age adjusted) were overweightness (OR = 2.7, 95% CI 1.47 to 4.92, p = 0.001) and obesity (OR = 2.5, 95% 1.28 to 4.67, p = 0.007), chronic constipation (OR = 2.3, 95% CI 1.20 to 4.32, p = 0.01), recurrent urinary tract infections (OR = 2, 26, 95% CI 1.01 to 5.09, p = 0.048), tears during delivery (OR = 1.9, 95% CI 1.03 to 3.65, p = 0.039), and menopause (OR = 2.3, 95% CI 1.06 to 5.09, p = 0.036). Conclusions Urinary incontinence is more common in women. Associated factors are different in both sexes. In men, these were age and prostate problems and for women obesity, constipation, urinary tract infections, factors related to childbirth and menopause.
