Female urinary and anal incontinence are common entities in pelvic floor dysfunction. The most frequently age affected range from 45 to 69 years. Previous studies performed in the United States report a prevalence of 24-62% for urinary incontinence and 3-60% for anal incontinence.
To determine the prevalence of these disorders in the Guadalajara metropolitan area because we do not know it.
A transversal and various stage study was performed recollecting blocks first, then houses, finally interviewing women and applying a structured questionnaire with somatometric and social-demographic data and also clinical-pathological antecedents. The data obtained was registered and processed first manually then using Excel and Epi-Info software.
The group of women interviewed (n = 352) were between 15-85 years. The majority were married, housewives, 33% with grammar school, 23% finished high school, 25% professionists and 19% did not finish school; with an average of three pregnancies and with a body mass index (BMI) positive for overweight and obesity. The prevalence for urinary incontinence was 27.8% and anal incontinence of 3.4%. These are results compatible with those reported in the United States.
Women living in Guadalajara have the same behavior that European and American women about prevalence of urinary incontinence. We recommend the performance of this type of studies in other states of this country in order to enrich the present information.
女性尿失禁和肛门失禁是盆底功能障碍的常见病症。受影响最频繁的年龄范围是45至69岁。此前在美国进行的研究报告称，尿失禁的患病率为24% - 62%，肛门失禁的患病率为3% - 60%。
由于我们对此并不了解，故确定瓜达拉哈拉大都市区这些病症的患病率。
开展了一项横断面多阶段研究，首先收集街区信息，然后是房屋信息，最后对女性进行访谈并应用一份包含身体测量和社会人口统计学数据以及临床病理既往史的结构化问卷。所获得的数据首先进行手工登记和处理，然后使用Excel和Epi - Info软件进行处理。
接受访谈的女性群体（n = 352）年龄在15 - 85岁之间。大多数为已婚家庭主妇，33%上过小学，23%完成高中学业，25%为专业人士，19%未完成学业；平均怀孕三次，体重指数（BMI）显示超重和肥胖呈阳性。尿失禁的患病率为27.8%，肛门失禁的患病率为3.4%。这些结果与美国报告的结果相符。
生活在瓜达拉哈拉的女性在尿失禁患病率方面与欧美女性有相同表现。我们建议在该国其他州开展此类研究，以丰富现有信息。
