Urinary incontinence in the older patient.

Over a 7 year period from April 2000 to March 2007 urinary incontinence was managed 802 times for patients aged 45 years and over. Women made up 85% of these encounters. Women had a significantly higher rate of incontinence management than males in all age groups. However, the management rate for men rose significantly among those aged 75 years and over, compared with aged 45-74 years.
