BACKGROUND
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a distressing problem for older people. To investigate the relationship between UI and respiratory symptoms among middle-aged and older men, a community-based study was conducted in Japan.
METHODS
A convenience sample of 668 community-dwelling men aged 40 years or above was recruited from middle and southern Japan. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, the Medical Research Council's dyspnoea scale and the Australian Lung Foundation's Feeling Short of Breath scale, were administered by face-to-face interviews to ascertain their UI status and respiratory symptoms.
RESULTS
The overall prevalence of UI was 7.6%, with urge-type leakage (59%) being most common among the 51 incontinent men. The presence of respiratory symptoms was significantly higher among incontinent men than those without the condition, especially for breathlessness (45% versus 30%, p = 0.025). The odds of UI for breathlessness was 2.11 (95% confidence interval 1.10-4.06) after accounting for age, body mass index, smoking and alcohol drinking status of each individual.
CONCLUSIONS
The findings suggested a significant association between UI and breathlessness in middle-aged and older men.
背景
尿失禁（UI）是老年人的一个痛苦问题。为了调查 UI 与中年和老年男性呼吸症状之间的关系，在日本进行了一项基于社区的研究。
方法
从日本中南部招募了 668 名年龄在 40 岁及以上的社区居民作为方便样本。通过面对面访谈，使用国际尿失禁咨询问卷-短表、医学研究委员会呼吸困难量表和澳大利亚肺基金会呼吸困难量表，确定他们的 UI 状况和呼吸症状。
结果
UI 的总体患病率为 7.6%，在 51 名失禁男性中，最常见的是急迫型漏尿（59%）。有呼吸症状的失禁男性明显多于无呼吸症状的男性，尤其是呼吸困难（45%对 30%，p=0.025）。在考虑了每个人的年龄、体重指数、吸烟和饮酒状况后，呼吸困难的 UI 比值比为 2.11（95%置信区间 1.10-4.06）。
结论
研究结果表明，中年和老年男性的 UI 与呼吸困难之间存在显著关联。
