Abstract:
Objective To evaluate prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence(UI)among aged women living at nursing homes in Beijing,and provide references of relative health strategy.Methods Totally 642 women aged 60 years and over were randomly selected at nursing homes from 6 districts in Beijing.A questionnaire survey was conducted using International Consultationon Incontinence Questionnaire Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Module (ICIQFLUTS) recommended by International Consultation on Incontinence (ICI).Results The prevalence rate of UI was 38.0% (244/642) among whom 38.5% (94/244) of participants knew their health conditions,7.8% (19/244) visited hospital and 6.6% (16/244) received medical or operational treatment.The proportions of respiratory disease ( 27.0 % vs.14.6%),digestive disease (23.4%vs.15.3%),urological disease(24.6%vs.8.5%),cardio-cerebralvascular disease(74.2% vs.53.5%),neurological disease ( 9.4 % vs.5.0%),obstetric disease ( 27.5% vs.10.1%),menstrual disorder (21.4%vs.14.4%),getting married before aged 21 years (51.5%vs.40.8%),being pregnant more than 4 times(50.2%vs.40.9%),the experience of both cesarean and natural birth (4.0%vs.0.8%),constipation(40.2% vs.29.4%),fecal incontinence ( 13.1% vs.4.0%),uneasy movement ( 22.5%vs.10.6%) and drinking (8.6%vs.3.5%) were higher in women with UI than in women without UI (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Eight risk factors that were entered into logistic regression model included getting married before 21 years old (OR =1.5,95 % CI:1.0-2.3,P<0.05),being pregnant more than 4 times(OR=1.7,95%CI:1.1-2.4,P<0.05),menstrual disorder(OR=1.7,95%CI:1.0-2.7,P<0.05),respiratory disease(OR=1.6,95 %CI:1.0-2.6,P<0.05),urological disease(OR=2.4,95 %CI:1.4-4.1,P< 0.01 ),cardio-cerebralvascular disease ( OR =2.0,95 % CI:1.3-3.0,P < 0.01 ),obstetric disease(OR=3.4,95%CI:2.0-5.6,P<0.01),moving uneasily(OR=2.5,95%CI:1.5-4.0,P<0.01).Conclusions UI is a common disease among women residing at nursing homes.Specific measures including intervention and clinical treatment targeting risk factors should be conducted.
