“…Reliable evidence concluded that increased severity of UI is as a predictor of impact on QoL (Huang et al, 2006;Yu et al, 2003). Yet, with increasing age the prevalence and severity of UI increases, but in younger women the impact of UI on QoL was found to be more significant than in their older counterparts (Monz et al, 2007). The major cue for seeking help for UI appears to have been the QoL score itself.…”

“…[7][8][9][10] Obesity has also been shown to negatively affect the sexual function 11,12 and may adversely affect the quality of life. 2,3,13 Considering the often significant lifestyle alterations and functional disability reported by women with incontinence disorders, the complex interaction between obesity and other risk factors for sexual disability is poorly understood and insufficiently investigated. 14,15 Although it has been demonstrated that benign pelvic floor disorders are associated with major quality of life implications 12, studies on sexual function in women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse diverge.…”

Sexual function in obese women: impact of lower urinary tract dysfunction

et al. 2008

Objective: To assess the impact on sexual function attributed to lower urinary tract dysfunction in a female obese population. Design: We performed a case-control study based on the registry of a university hospital obesity unit. A consecutive sample of women with body mass index(BMI) X30 (obese) was randomly matched by age, gender and residential county to control subjects using the computerized Register of the Total Population. Data were collected by a self-reported postal survey including the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12). Results: The questionnaire was completed and returned by 279/446 patients (62%) and 430/892 control subjects (48%). Obese women reported significantly lesser satisfaction with their sexual life, more frequent symptoms of urinary incontinence at intercourse, more often fear of urine leakage at intercourse, a higher tendency toward avoiding intercourse and more frequent feelings of guilt and disgust during intercourse (Po0.001). While considering sexual function in a subset of women with urge or stress urinary incontinence, the overall PISQ-12 scores were significantly lower in obese women compared to their age-matched nonobese controls for both the conditions (Po0.001). In an adjusted multivariate analysis, a BMI 430 was independently associated with a significantly increased risk for sexual dysfunction (odds ratio (OR) 1.8; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-2.9), as were symptoms of urge or stress urinary incontinence (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.3-3.1 and OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.7-4.0), respectively. Conclusion: Urge and stress urinary incontinences are more common and have greater impact on sexual function in obese women.

“…221 Another study on the same population of women reported 0.76 as the adjusted OR for EQ-5D health-state index score. 222 Haywood and colleagues 219 reported EQ-5D scores for women based on the number of incontinence episodes at baseline. Those with no episodes has a mean score of 0.85 (SD 0.24).…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projec...
