Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the prevalence, associated risk factors and the impact on health related quality of life of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome in Beijing adult women. Methods In the Community-based, cross-sectional study, 2973 women aged over 18 years who lived in urban and suburban communities respectively in Beijing were interviewed through Voiding Function Questionnaire, using a stratified system sampling approach. The women meeting the diagnostic criteria of OAB using the International Continence Society (ICS) definition were further interviewed through King's health questionnaire(KHQ) to estimate the impact of OAB on health related quality of life in Beijing adult women. Results A total of 2379(80.0%) women with complete data were included in this study. The overall prevalence of OAB was 4.7% (112/2379)and demonstrated an significant increasing with advancing age (P＜0.01). The prevalence of OAB was 2.0% in urban and 8. 1 % in suburban. In multiple logistic models, age, BMI, region of residence and anxiety level were associated risk factors for OAB. The result of King's health questionnaire showed the symptoms of OAB affect general health perception and sleep and energy severely. Conclusions The prevalence of OAB in Bei-jing adult women is 4.7%, lower than that of most reports in Occidental women, increases with advancing age, higher BMI and higher anxiety level, and is higher in suburban than in urban. The symptoms of OAB have a detrimental effect on quality of life.
