Urinary incontinence is a common clinical problem, particularly in older adults. This review was designed to review current and recently updated information on the epidemiology of urinary incontinence in men.
There are an increasing number of urinary incontinence studies outside Europe and North America. However, overall, the trend indicates no remarkable increase in the number of publications relative to all areas. Prevalence studies have produced estimates with very wide ranges, mainly due to methodological differences. Studies have also examined risk factors and impact of urinary incontinence, including lifestyle, comorbidities and medications.
Recent research has focused less on urinary incontinence in men compared with women, despite urinary incontinence being relatively common and burdensome in men worldwide and strongly associated with age. Thus, the population burden is likely to increase with future demographic shifts. A wide variety of risk factors have been identified, and studies have shown that urinary incontinence can have substantial negative impacts on various clinical outcomes and quality of life.
尿失禁是一种常见的临床问题，尤其在老年人中更为常见。本综述旨在回顾男性尿失禁的流行病学的最新信息。
除了欧洲和北美以外，也有越来越多的尿失禁研究。然而，总体而言，与所有领域相比，出版物数量并没有显著增加。患病率研究的估计值范围很广，主要是由于方法学的差异。研究还检查了尿失禁的风险因素和影响，包括生活方式、合并症和药物。
与女性相比，最近的研究对男性尿失禁的关注较少，尽管全球范围内男性尿失禁相对常见且负担沉重，且与年龄密切相关。因此，随着未来人口结构的变化，人口负担可能会增加。已经确定了多种风险因素，研究表明，尿失禁会对各种临床结局和生活质量产生重大负面影响。
