Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prevalence, the clinical characteristics and associated risk factors of urinary incontinence in Beijing women. METHODS: In the cross-sectional study, 5300 Beijing women aged over 20 years were interviewed through a questionnaire including International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Module (ICIQ-FLUTS). Aged from 20 to 99 years old (mean 46 +/- 17). Divided into 8 groups every 10 years. 4812 cases are married. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of UI was 38.5% (2008/5221), among theses women, 22.9% (1197/5221), had stress incontinence, 2.8% (147/5221) urge incontinence and 12.4% (649/5221) mixed incontinence. In multiple logistic models, age, delivery mode, smoking, hypertension, constipation, body mass index, chronic pelvic pain (CPP) were relation factors for stress incontinence. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of urinary incontinence is high (38.5%). Urinary incontinence is major disease that affects female quality of life. 22.9% (1197/5221) of the incontinence women had stress urinary incontinence, 2.8% (147/5221) urge urinary incontinence and 12.4% (649/5221) mixed urinary incontinence. Old, vaginal delivery, smoking, hypertension, constipation, CPP and higher BMI are potential risk factors for stress urinary incontinence. Cesarean section are protective factors for stress urinary incontinence.
