“…[3][4][5][6][7] In Brazil, data on prevalence of UI in middle aged women usually relate to stress UI (SUI), reaching 8 to 48%. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Moreover, there is a disturbing economic impact on the health system, seen, for example, in the costs in Brazil in 2014; the total spent on women between 30 and 59 years totaled more than BRL 2 billion, and of these, BRL 183 million were directed to genitourinary diseases. Surgeries for female genital prolapse, one of the causes of UI included in the ICD-10, generated in 2014 a cost of BRL 15.8 million (8.7%).…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence and identify associated factors to urinary incontinence (UI) in climacteric women. Method: In a cross-sectional study with a stratified random sample, 1,200 women aged between 35 and 72 years were studied, enrolled in the Family Health Strategy in the city of Pindamonhangaba, São Paulo. Urinary incontinence was investigated using the International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire -Short Form, while associated factors were assessed based on a self-reported questionnaire with socio-demographic, obstetric and gynecological history, morbidities and drug use. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was estimated with a 95% confidence interval (95CI) and the associated factors were identified through multiple logistic regression model performed using Stata software, version 11.0. Results: Women had a mean age of 51.9 years, most were in menopause (59.4%), married (87.5%), Catholic (48.9%), and declared themselves black or brown (47.2%). The mean age of menopause of women with UI was 47.3 years. The prevalence of UI was 20.4% (95CI: 17.8-23.1%). The factors associated with UI were urinary loss during pregnancy (p=0.000) and after delivery (p=0.000), genital prolapse (p=0.000), stress (p=0.001), depression (p=0.002), and obesity (p=0.006). Conclusion: The prevalence of UI was lower but similar to that found in most similar studies. Factors associated with the genesis of UI were urinary loss during pregnancy and after delivery, genital prolapse and obesity.

“…In Brazil, it is estimated that FI in the general population varies between 2% and 7%, however this figure may represent an underestimation of cases, due to the fact that the presence/ absence of the issue is auto-reported (Amaro et al, 2009;Santos & Santos, 2011;Santos et al, 2014). Controversy regarding the associated factors still remains for FI, and the subject has been the focus of limited research, especially in institutionalized elderly of Latin America (Santos et al, 2014;Townsend, Matthews, Whitehead, & Grodstein, 2013;Zarate et al, 2008).…”

The objective of this work is to determine the prevalence of FI and associated factors in institutionalized elderly. A cross-sectional study is presented herein, conducted between October and December 2013, in 10 nursing homes (NHs) of the city of Natal (Northeast Brazil). Individuals over the age of 60 were included in the study, while those hospitalized or in terminal phase were excluded. Data collection included sociodemographic information, FI characterization, as well as variables related to the institution itself and to health conditions (comorbidities, medication, pelvic floor surgery, Barthel Index for functional capacity and Pfeiffer test for cognitive status). FI was verified through the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0, which was also used to assess toileting programs. The Chi-square test and the linear Chi-square test were performed for bivariate analysis, as well as logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The final sample consisted of 321 elderly, mostly females, with mean age of 81.5 years. The prevalence of FI was 42.68% (CI 95%, 37.39-48.15). Most residents presenting FI were always incontinent (83.9%) and the most frequent incontinence type was total FI (solid and liquid stools). Incontinence control measures were applied only to 9.7% of the residents. The final model revealed a statistically significant association between FI and functional and cognitive impairments. It is concluded that FI is a health issue that affects almost half of the institutionalized elderly, and is associated with functional and cognitive disability.

ResumoObjetivo: Identificar a prevalência de incontinência urinária (IU) e fatores associados em idosas da comunidade. Métodos: Estudo transversal no qual foram entrevistadas idosas com 60 anos de idade ou mais que frequentavam um centro voltado exclusivamente a idosos em Pelotas-RS, Brasil. Foram utilizados como instrumentos desta pesquisa o International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire -Short Form (ICIQ-SF) e um questionário com informações complementares, que verificou fatores associados para a incontinência urinária. Além de estatística descritiva, foi utilizado o teste t de Student para comparação das médias das variáveis quantitativas. Resultados: Foram avaliadas 132 idosas na faixa etária de 60 a 91 anos, com média de idade igual a 68,56 anos (dp±6,24). Em relação à perda de urina, a prevalência encontrada foi de 40,91% (95% IC = 32,6-49,2). Do total de mulheres analisadas, encontrou-se um índice de massa corporal (IMC) médio de 25,7Kg/m 2 (dp±4,06), sendo que das idosas consideradas incontinentes foi demonstrado que 59,2% apresentavam IMC≥27Kg/m 2 (p<0.01), ou seja, com sobrepeso. Conclusões: A prevalência de IU encontrada (40,91%) está dentro dos parâmetros registrados para esta faixa etária. Outro dado relevante é que o número de gestações aumentou a presença de IU, sendo que aquelas idosas que apresentaram três ou mais gestações foram proporcionalmente mais atingidas. O impacto da IU na qualidade de vida foi considerado ausente ou leve pela maioria das idosas, demonstrando que, provavelmente, a IU esteja em estágio inicial e não interfira de forma significativa no cotidiano dessas mulheres. Torna-se ainda relevante destacar que o diagnóstico precoce permite o tratamento adequado em tempo hábil, evitando maiores comprometimentos e melhorando a qualidade de vida.
