Purpose: to analyze the data of vocal self-assessment of menopausal women and compare them to those obtained by a control group. Methods: cross-sectional, observational and analytical study in which 42 women aged between 19 and 60 years, divided into control group (21 women in reproductive age) and study group (21 women in menopause). Each participant answered a questionnaire developed by the researchers, which contained data on: general health, treatments carried out, smoking, alcohol use, professional use of voice and gynecological data, and vocal self-assessment protocols Voice Symptom Scale, Voice Handicap Index and Voice-Related Quality of Life. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney and Pearson correlation, considering the significance level of 5%. Results: the study group had significantly higher levels in the functional domain of the Voice Handicap Index and significantly lower in the social-emotional domain Voice-Related Quality of Life. Nevertheless, the scores of these domains were as expected for healthy voices. There was no correlation between the results of vocal self-assessment and the time when women stopped menstruating.Conclusion: it appears that women in menopause, despite having differences with regard to women in reproductive age as the vocal self-assessment, present symptoms, quality of life in voice and voice handicap compatible with those presented by individuals with healthy voices.

“…In this sense, if the steady increase in the population's life expectancy is not followed by improvements in health and quality of life (QOL), it can lead to high public expenditure. Based on this, greater attention can be paid to the management of urinary incontinence through public programs and policies that encourage health promotion and the prevention of this dysfunction 5 . Among others, UI care involves the assessment of pelvic floor muscle function (PFM), which can be conducted manually or instrumentally 6 .…”

“…As seen in the literature, physical therapy is efficient in reducing urine loss and improving pelvic floor muscle function and QOL. It can be easily carried out in Primary Health Care Units at low costs 5,17,19,24 , either in groups or individually (in the latter case, after approximately 14 treatment sessions 24 ). Taking into consideration the effectiveness of the physical therapy treatment reported in the literature 19,24 , the high prevalence of UI found among the elderly women in this sample, the connection between UI, functional decline 30 and falls in the elderly 32 and the subsequent loss of independence that affects most of the fallers 33 , it is suggested that the elderly users of the public health system should be given access to this therapeutic modality.…”

Urinary incontinence in elderly women from Porto Alegre: its prevalence and relation to pelvic floor muscle function

et al. 2014

| The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of self-reported urinary loss in elderly women living in the city of Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), as well as to determine the relation between urinary incontinence (UI) and pelvic floor muscle function (PFMF). It included 270 elderly women (aged from 60 to 92 years) from a population sample, who reported the presence (n=155; 69.1±7.8 years) or absence (n=115; 67.7±7.9 years) of urine loss. Those who reported UI were asked about how long they had been experiencing urinary leakage, the amount of urine lost (drops, jets or complete micturition) and situations in which they lost urine. Out of the total number of individuals, 178 agreed to undergo the assessment of PFMF by means of a perineometry and a bidigital test. The prevalence of elderly women who reported UI (57.4%) was significantly higher, and the most common isolated situation of urine loss was being unable to get to the toilet in time (26.1%), and this occurred mainly in drops (52.3%). The UI lasted for a median of three years. The elderly women with UI had significantly lower PFMF than those without it, regardless of the type of measurement used (perineometry or bidigital test). Therefore, we conclude that, in this sample, UI had a high prevalence and was associated with decreased PFMF. Bearing these findings in mind and taking into account the data available in the literature about the impact of UI on health and quality of life, as well as the low cost of its assessment and treatment, we suggest that the management and care of this dysfunction should be carried out at the Primary Health Care level.Keywords | Pelvic Diaphragm; Physical Therapy Specialty; Aged; Women's Health.RESUMO | O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalên-cia do relato de perda urinária em idosas residentes no município de Porto Alegre (RS-Brasil), bem como determinar a relação entre incontinência urinária (IU) e a função muscular do assoalho pélvico (FMAP).

As idosas que referiram IU foram questionadas quanto a: duração da perda urinária, quantidade de urina perdida (gotas, jato ou completa) e situações em que perdiam urina. Desse total, 178 aceitaram ser submetidas a uma avaliação da FMAP por meio da perineometria e do teste bidigital. A prevalência de idosas com relato de IU (57,4%) foi significativamente mais elevada, sendo que a situação isolada de perda miccional mais
