Abstract:
Objective To find out the prevalence of urinary incontinence(UI),as well as its impact on self assessed life quality in community dwelling elderly Beijing residents.Methods A total of 2 878 local elderly residents(≥ 65 years)were enrolled through stratified cluster random sampling from July 2013 to December 2014 in Beijing.A face-to-face questionnaire survey and physical examination were conducted by trained investigators.UI was screened using ICIQ SF.Prevalence of UI was adjusted by the standard population of Beijing and the number of elderly people with UI was estimated.Results The overall prevalence of UI was 24.6％.The morbidity of UI was 18.5％ in male and 29.8％ in female participants.The estimated number of elderly UI patients in Beijing was about 445 thousands,with 153 thousand male and 292 female patients.After adjustment for potential confounding demographic,lifestyle and chronic disease factors,logistic regression analysis revealed that UI was negatively correlated with several self-assessed measures,including quality of life,health,sleep quality,activities of daily life,sexual life and relationship with other people(all P＜0.05).Moreover,negative emotions in the last four weeks increased in the elderly with UI.Conclusions Nearly one quarter of the aged population,especially among aged women,in Beijing suffer from UI.UI severely affects the quality of life and emotions in aged persons.It is necessary to take early interventions to improve quality of life and promote healthy aging.
