Abstract

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a problem that affects more than 16 million Americans, most of them women. Although nearly half of the elderly in America have episodes of UI, it is not a normal consequence of aging. It remains a largely neglected problem despite its considerable prevalence, morbidity, and expense. This article reports on a successful proactive health risk screening process to treat this major problem.

摘要

尿失禁影响着超过1600万美国人，其中大多数是女性。尽管美国近一半的老年人有尿失禁情况，但这并非衰老的正常结果。尽管其患病率、发病率和费用都相当可观，但它仍然是一个很大程度上被忽视的问题。本文报道了一个成功的主动健康风险筛查过程，以解决这一重大问题。
