Abufaraj M, Xu T, Cao C, et al. - The present study was conducted to ascertain the prevalence and trends in urinary incontinence among adult women in the United States from 2005 to 2018. Researchers further assessed the association between urinary incontinence subtypes with several sociodemographic, lifestyle, health-related, and gynecological factors. Data were applied from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationally representative series of surveys that were designed to assess the health status of the United States population. They enrolled a sum of 19,791 individuals aged ≥ 20 years. It was shown that the prevalence of urgency and mixed urinary incontinence increased significantly among women aged 60 years and older, while the estimated overall prevalence of stress and mixed urinary incontinence remained stable from 2005 to 2018. The data indicated that all subtypes of urinary incontinence were higher among women with obesity, comorbidities, those who used postmenopausal hormone therapy, and smokers.
