The relationship between urinary incontinence and obesity in childhood
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health Oct 20, 2018
Monkhouse K, et al. - In children presenting to a tertiary hospital incontinence clinic, researchers explored relationships between weight and type and frequency of urinary incontinence (UI). For this investigation, medical records of 1,000 children who first went to the incontinence clinic at The Children's Hospital at Westmead between January 2004 and December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. No differences were seen in nocturnal enuresis (NE), daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) or combined NE and DUI between the underweight/normal and overweight/obese weight children. No association was found between weight and type or frequency of UI in a large cohort of children presenting to a tertiary incontinence clinic.
