Aune D, et al. - In view of the epidemiological studies indicating the correlation of adiposity with an elevated risk of urinary incontinence, researchers performed this systematic literature review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies examining the association between adiposity and urinary incontinence. Inclusion of 24 prospective studies was done searching PubMed and Embase databases up to July 19, 2017. For population-based studies and for pregnancy-based studies, they observed summary relative risks (RRs) of 1.20 and 1.19, respectively, per 5 kg/m² increment in BMI; RRs were 1.18 per 10 cm increase in waist circumference and 1.34 per 10 kg of weight gain. Results thereby suggest an increased risk of urinary incontinence in correlation with excess weight.
