StreszczenieWstęp: Uciążliwe konsekwencje, obniżenie jakości życia, częstość występowania oraz uwarunkowania medyczne i społeczne związane z nietrzymaniem moczu znajdują się w kręgu zainteresowań wielu autorów. Nietrzymanie moczu ze względu na rozpowszechnienie w społeczeństwie ma charakter choroby społecznej.Cel pracy: W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badania ankietowego wśród kobiet polskich aglomeracji śląskiej, którego celem było określenie deklarowanego nasilenia czynników ryzyka i występowania objawów nietrzymania moczu.Materiał i metody: Kobiety podzielono na podgrupy ze względu na wiek. Grupę A1 stanowiły kobiety w wieku 41-50 lat, w grupie A2 znalazły się kobiety w wieku 51-60 lat, a w grupie A3 -w wieku 61-70 lat. Grupa A4 obejmowała kobiety w wieku 71 lat i starsze.Wyniki: Czynniki związane ze stylem życia, takie jak ilość wypijanej kawy, palenie papierosów czy obecność zaparć, występowały w grupach z średnim nasileniem. Objawy nietrzymania moczu deklarowały kobiety we wszystkich badanych grupach, lecz największe nasilenie występowało u kobiet powyżej 71. roku życia. Nasilenie czynników niepodlegających modyfikacji kształtowały się na niskim poziomie. Pomimo przewagi kobiet otyłych w grupie A3 nie wykazano korelacji pomiędzy otyłością a występowaniem objawów nietrzymania moczu w tej grupie.Wnioski: Porównanie międzygrupowe występowania objawów nietrzymania moczu wskazało najwyższe wartości średnie w grupie najstarszych kobiet, istotnie wyższe w porównaniu z grupą kobiet młodszych.Słowa kluczowe: nietrzymanie moczu, czynniki ryzyka. SummaryIntroduction: Inconvenient consequences, reduced quality of life, prevalence of urinary stress incontinence as well as medical and social determinants associated with urinary incontinence are an object of interest for many authors. Urinary incontinence is a social disease due to its high prevalence.Aim of the study: This paper presents the results of a questionnaire among Polish women from the Silesia region aimed to determine declared severity of risk factors and symptoms of urinary incontinence.Material and methods: Women were assigned to one of four comparison groups according to their age. Group A1 involved women aged between 41 and 50, group A2 -51-60, group A3 -61-70. Group A4 involved women at the age of 71 and more.Results: Factors related to lifestyle, such as the amount of coffee, smoking and the presence of constipation, occurred in the groups with medium intensity. The prevalence of symptoms of urinary stress incontinence was confirmed by women of all research groups; however, the symptoms were the most prevalent among women aged 71 and more. The intensity of non-modifiable factors occurrence was low. Although group A3 involved more obese women than others, there was no correlation between obesity and severity of symptoms of urinary incontinence in group A3.

“…11 Considering separately the types of urinary incontinence, Fultz et al found 52% of SUI, 10% of UUI, 37% of mixed UI, and 2% of other types. 6 A study conducted with 400 women showed quite different results: 18.3% had SUI, 17.5% had UUI, and 39.5% had mixed UI. 12 In a study conducted in 1997, the authors interviewed 410 women and found that 12.6% of those with incontinence had SUI.…”

StreSS urinary incontinence among women participating in the family health program of DouraDoS (mS), Brazil 649Rev Assoc Med Bras 2010; 56(6): 649-54 IntroductIonUrinary incontinence (UI) is defined as involuntary loss of urine through the urethra. 1 This condition can be classified into three common types: stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence. In SUI, urine leakage occurs when there is increased intraabdominal pressure, such as while practicing physical exercise, coughing, or sneezing. UUI is the inability to hold urine because of a strong need to void. Mixed urinary incontinence is a combination of the two previous conditions. 2 The economic impact of UI is significant both for the public health system and the families of patients with this pathology. In the United States, the cost of the treatment of patients with UI was estimated to be approximately $ 19.5 million in 2000. 3 The annual amount paid for routine care of a U.S. woman with UI was estimated at $ 900.00. 4 Studies have shown the negative impact of UI on the social, sexual, and psychological dimensions. 5 Fultz et al. assessed the impact of UI in 3,364 employed women and demonstrated impairment of work rhythm because of increased frequency of bathroom breaks. 6 Tamanini et al., using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ-SF), showed that among 225 patients with UI, 8.9% (20) and 17.8% (40) considered the impact of this condition on their quality of life to be severe and very severe, respectively. 7 Telephone interviews conducted in 2003 with 82,196 people over 65 years demonstrated that the prevalence of UI is twice as high in women compared to men and UI is significantly associated with depression. 8 The prevalence of female UI can range from 8.5% to 55%. showed a weak association. Using logistic regression, only pairing of weight and hysterectomy was able to predict the outcome (SUI). Most women with SUI (63.9%) had very severe impairment in the QOL. conclusIon. The prevalence of SUI was similar to that found in other studies; BMI, parity, number of pregnancies, and hysterectomy were associated with this disease, which seriously impairs the QOL.

“…In the last 5 years at least 12 epidemiological studies of the prevalence of urinary incontinence have been done in the United States. In 9 studies performed with women we find very different results ranging between 15% with Latin women over 65 years old (Espino, Palmer et al 2003), 18% with Asiatic women (Huang, Thom et al 2006), and up to 40% with noninstitutionalized women (Fultz, Girts et al 2005;Melville, Katon et al 2005;Minassian, Stewart et al 2008). In Spain, epidemiological studies before 2003 show a prevalence of nearly 40% in women over 65 years old, but in later studies the amount was under 35.1% in persons over 64 years, 23% in women over 18 years old, 20% in working women and 14% in women between 40 and 64 years old (Martínez-Agulló, Ruiz-Cerdá et al 2009).…”
