In this study, patterns of urinary incontinence, its severity and types were studied by three sequential data collections at annual intervals. The data are from a panel survey of a probability sample of 1,956 noninstitutionalized persons aged 60 and over residing in Washtenaw County, Michigan, who were interviewed in their homes about urine loss. Based on these self-reports, the prevalence of urinary incontinence was 18.9% in men and 37.7% in women. One-year incidence rates of about 20% among women and about 10% among men were found. One-year remission rates were about 12% for women and about 30% for men. When becoming incontinent, respondents were most likely to develop mild incontinence. Those who changed their severity level were most likely to progress from mild to moderate.
在本研究中，通过每年进行一次的连续三次数据收集，对尿失禁的模式、严重程度和类型进行了研究。数据来自对密歇根州沃什特瑙县1956名60岁及以上非机构化居民的概率样本进行的小组调查，这些居民在家中接受了关于尿液流失的访谈。根据这些自我报告，男性尿失禁患病率为18.9%，女性为37.7%。发现女性的一年发病率约为20%，男性约为10%。女性的一年缓解率约为12%，男性约为30%。出现尿失禁时，受访者最有可能发展为轻度尿失禁。那些改变严重程度的人最有可能从轻度发展为中度。
