In a sample of 919 respondents aged 65 years and older, resident in a public housing estate in Singapore, the prevalence of regular urinary incontinence was 4.6%. Thirty-five of the 42 incontinent subjects consented to a detailed interview. The majority of these 35 cases leaked urine daily, leaked amounts over one tablespoon, or were suffering some psychological [corrected] or social effect of the incontinence. Urge incontinence was the commonest type in women and outlet obstruction in men. Almost all incontinent subjects were agreeable to having medical attention for the condition although over a third had not previously consulted medical personnel about the problem. There may be scope for the provision of primary health care continence services.
在新加坡一个公共屋邨居住的919名65岁及以上受访者样本中，经常尿失禁的患病率为4.6%。42名失禁受试者中有35名同意接受详细访谈。这35例中的大多数每天漏尿，漏尿量超过一汤匙，或因失禁而遭受一些心理[纠正后]或社会影响。急迫性尿失禁是女性中最常见的类型，而男性中则是出口梗阻。几乎所有失禁受试者都愿意就该病症寻求医疗关注，尽管超过三分之一的人此前并未就该问题咨询过医务人员。提供初级卫生保健失禁服务可能有空间。
