All 278 female residents of nursing homes in the County of Roskilde were assessed as regards the extent and severity of urinary incontinence and possible urinary infections. A total of 168 (58.5%) were incontinent. Culture of the urine was performed in 210 women and significant bacteriuria was demonstrated in 50%. Thirty-four out of the total of 287 women (12%) had indwelling catheters. In incontinent women without catheters, great quantities of urine were often voided involuntarily. Despite this, only few were subjectively inconvenienced or inhibited in their social activities. The investigation revealed a connection between urinary incontinence and reduced mobility while no connection was observed with current urinary infections, intake of medicaments and parity. It is emphasized that these results are based on findings in very old women living in nursing homes.
对罗斯基勒郡养老院的278名女性居民进行了尿失禁程度和严重程度以及可能的泌尿系统感染情况的评估。共有168人（58.5%）存在尿失禁。对210名女性进行了尿液培养，其中50%显示有显著菌尿。287名女性中有34人（12%）留置了导尿管。在没有导尿管的尿失禁女性中，经常会不自主地排出大量尿液。尽管如此，只有少数人在社交活动中感到主观不便或受到限制。调查发现尿失禁与行动能力下降之间存在关联，而与当前的泌尿系统感染、药物摄入和生育情况无关。需要强调的是，这些结果是基于对居住在养老院的高龄女性的研究发现。
