Urinary incontinence and voiding dysfunction in elderly men

Abstract: Voiding disorders, including urinary incontinence (UI), are common in elderly men. The aging process is associated with anatomic and physiologic changes that may predispose older adults to urinary problems. The epidemiology of UI in older adults is different from that in younger individuals. Costs associated with UI care-in terms of economic costs, health resource utilization, and personal psychosocial costs-can be quite high. UI is one of the geriatric syndromes that can negatively infl uence physical functio… Show more

“…identified increased BMI and high blood pressure as vascular risk factors for UUI [ 68 ]. At 43%, UUI was the most frequently documented type of established UI in this review [ 31 33 , 40 , 42 , 46 – 48 , 51 , 54 , 59 , 65 , 67 69 , 72 , 73 , 75 ]. Detrusor overactivity (DO) ranked first in the other medically-related risk factors category/third overall [ 35 , 39 , 40 , 51 , 54 , 55 , 57 , 71 , 72 , 74 ] and was associated with UUI [ 40 , 51 , 72 ] and nocturnal enuresis [ 39 ].…”

“…Institutionalisation increased UI prevalence following facility admission [ 72 ]. For NH, urinary incontinence is a quality of care indicator and a high prevalence of UI is often regarded as a sign of poor quality care [ 61 , 89 ].…”

“…For example, the most common procedure codes were endoscopic examinations of the bladder and urethral catheterisations of the bladder, and the most common primary diagnosis codes were for disorders of the urinary system. There are several physiological changes that occur in men as they get older and lead to alterations in lower urinary tract function, making urinary disorders in elderly men common ( Dubeau, 2006 ; Griebling, 2008 ). Many prostate cancer survivors are likely to be closely monitored in urology clinics for many years after initial diagnosis – often an extended period of either ‘active surveillance' or ‘watchful waiting' is pursued, especially if the cancer is less aggressive and treatment is not immediately necessary ( Cancer Research UK, 2010a ).…”

“…That is so because the changes deriving from the aging process and health crisis events can enhance the development of urinary incon nence in old age (6,9) . It should be highlighted that the aging process as an isolated phenomenon is not a cause, but induces anatomical and func onal altera ons predisposing to the problem (7) .…”
