This study investigated the relationship between urinary incontinence and respiratory function in middle-aged and older Japanese men.
Seven hundred community-dwelling men aged 40 years or above were recruited from community centres and hospital outpatient clinics. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form was administered to ascertain their urinary incontinence status. Standardized spirometric measurements of respiratory function were performed.
The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 7.6% among the 668 eligible participants (mean age 62.7 years). The 51 men who leaked urine had significantly lower FEV1 and FVC than those who were continent (P < 0.01). The adjusted risks of urinary incontinence were 0.67 (95% CI: 0.43-1.04) and 0.63 (95% CI: 0.40-0.98) for the two continuous respiratory function variables (L), respectively.
The findings indicate an inverse association between urinary incontinence and respiratory function and an additional health burden in lung diseases.
本研究旨在探讨中年和老年日本男性尿失禁与呼吸功能之间的关系。
从社区中心和医院门诊招募了 700 名年龄在 40 岁及以上的社区居民。采用国际尿失禁咨询问卷-短表评估尿失禁状况。对呼吸功能进行标准化的肺活量测定。
在 668 名符合条件的参与者中，尿失禁的患病率为 7.6%（平均年龄 62.7 岁）。51 名漏尿的男性的 FEV1 和 FVC 明显低于无尿失禁的男性（P < 0.01）。对于两个连续的呼吸功能变量（L），尿失禁的调整风险分别为 0.67（95%CI：0.43-1.04）和 0.63（95%CI：0.40-0.98）。
研究结果表明，尿失禁与呼吸功能呈负相关，在肺部疾病中存在额外的健康负担。
