“…In our study, the mean body mass index (BMI) was indicative of overweight, and the average number of pregnancies per woman (four pregnancies) are close to the results of Amaro et al (25). The latter analyzed the prevalence of and risk factors for UI, and found higher BMI in a group of incontinent women, when compared to a group of women without urinary leakage who had an average of 3.6 pregnancies.…”

Introduction: The importance of domestic guidelines as a help in the treatment of urinary incontinence (UI) is evident, but its influence on the quality of life (QoL) of incontinent women, when applied without supervision, is unknown. Objective: To evaluate the influence of domestic guidelines for the treatment of UI on the QoL of incontinent women. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental before and after study. Seventy one women with UI and a mean age of 53.47 (± 14.21) years were assessed, instructed with the aid of an illustrative and explanatory folder and reassessed after six months using the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). KHQ data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test for paired samples, with significance level of 5%. Results: There was a statistically proven improvement in six of the eight domains and in six of the ten symptoms assessed (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that the domestic guidelines for treatment of UI positively influenced the QoL of the women who participated in this study.

“…No Brasil, trabalhos realizados tanto em populações específicas, como indígenas e mulheres na pós-menopausa, quanto naqueles feitos na comunidade, também mostram prevalências semelhantes às dos estudos internacionais [5][6][7][8]14 . No entanto, na amostra estudada, constituída por mulheres da comunidade, a prevalência de incontinência anal foi mais elevada.…”

“…Estudos realizados em populações brasileiras mostram prevalências díspares, variando entre 0,2 e 15%. A prevalência de IF numa população feminina de indígenas do Parque Nacional do Xingu foi de 0,2 % 5 , ao passo que mulheres no estado de São Paulo apresentaram taxa de 2 % 6 , sendo que todas as pacientes apresentavam simultaneamente IU. Já um estudo de base populacional realizado em Minas Gerais 7 , em indivíduos com mais de 18 anos, encontrou prevalência de 4,2 % para perda de fezes, de 4 % para perda de gases e de 7 % para a associação de ambas.…”

ResumoIntrodução: A prevalência das incontinências anal e urinária que são mais comuns em mulheres, aumenta com a idade. Tais disfunções podem ser encontradas isoladamente ou em associação (incontinência dupla) e podem provocar grande impacto na qualidade de vida. Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência das incontinências anal e dupla e o impacto dessas condições sobre a qualidade de vida de mulheres idosas da comunidade. As variáveis foram estudadas de maneira descritiva, por meio do cálculo de frequências absolutas e relativas e, no caso da variável idade e dos escores de qualidade de vida, por meio do cálculo da média e desvio-padrão. Resultados: Participaram da pesquisa 66 mulheres, com média de idade de 69,6±7,2 anos. A prevalência de incontinência anal foi de 28,8% (n=19), e a prevalência de incontinência dupla foi de 18,1% (n=12). Pacientes com incontinência anal isolada e dupla apresentaram impacto negativo na qualidade de vida, conforme indicado pelos escores dos domínios avaliados. Conclusão: A prevalência de incontinência anal foi mais elevada do que a prevalência de incontinência fecal isolada ou de incontinência anal encontrada em outras populações. O mesmo foi observado em relação à prevalência de incontinência dupla. Houve impacto negativo de ambas as condições em todos os domínios de qualidade de vida avaliados.

Such dysfunctions may be found alone or in combination (double incontinence), and they may have a major impact on quality of life. Objectives: Evaluate the prevalence of anal and double incontinence, as well as the impact these conditions cause on the quality of life of elderly women residents in a community. Patients and Methods:We carried out an observational descriptive study involving women aged 60 and over who sought the Primary Health Care Unit for vaccination. For the urinary and anal incontinence screening, Brazilian versions of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire -Short Form and the Anal Incontinence Index were used. Women who presented scores different from zero in both questionnaires were diagnosed with double incontinence. The evaluation on the impact of anal incontinence on quality of life was done through the Brazilian version of Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire. We used descriptive statistics to calculate relative and absolute frequencies. Age and Quality of life domain scores were expressed using mean and standard deviation. Results: Sixty-six women were included in the study. Mean age was 69.6±7.2 years. The prevalence of Anal Incontinence was 28.8% (n=19) and the prevalence of double incontinence was 18.1% (n=12). Patients with isolated and double anal incontinence had a negative impact on quality of life, as indicated by the scores of the domains evaluated. Conclusions: The prevalence of anal incontinence was higher than the...

“…12 However, it was still questioned whether caesarean section could prevent pelvic floor trauma. 1,[13][14][15] In a study, it was reported that women with persistent stress urinary incontinence at three months postpartum, 92% would continue to stress urinary incontinence for five years postpartum. [16][17][18] This study aimed to know the prevalence and risk factors of postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in Indonesia.…”
