Urology Aug 09, 2020
Rogo-Gupta LJ, Nelson DA, Young-Lin N, et al. - In this study, the incidence of pelvic floor disorders (PFD) was ascertained among active-duty US Army female soldiers. Researchers examined a total of 102,015 women for incident PFD applying the Stanford Military Data Repository, which comprises medical, demographic, and service-related information on all soldiers on active duty in the US Army during 2011-2014. Cox proportional hazards were applied to calculate adjusted correlations with PFD diagnoses. They assessed military-specific characteristics and fitness alongside known PFD predictors in the adjusted models. It was noted that 1 in 15 women in this active-duty cohort was diagnosed with a PFD over a median follow-up time of 29 months. The data considered that optimizing risk factors including body mass index and physical fitness may benefit the pelvic health of female soldiers, independent of age, children, and years of service.
