The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between urinary incontinence (UI) and physical frailty (PF).
The study participants (n = 404) who visited the geriatric clinic were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of UI based on questionnaire results. We analysed the relationship between each factor associated with PF and the risk of UI according to the number of factors associated with PF.
Urinary incontinence was associated with grip strength and history of falls (P = 0.01, 0.02, respectively). The risk of UI increased as the patients' number of PF-related factors increased (P for trend = 0.04).
The risk of UI increased as the severity of PF increased. Strength and the experiences of falls were associated with UI.
本研究旨在调查尿失禁(UI)与身体虚弱(PF)之间的关联。
根据问卷调查结果,将前往老年诊所就诊的研究参与者(n = 404)按照是否存在尿失禁分为两组。我们根据与身体虚弱相关的因素数量,分析了与身体虚弱相关的各因素与尿失禁风险之间的关系。
尿失禁与握力和跌倒史相关(P值分别为0.01、0.02)。随着患者与身体虚弱相关因素数量的增加,尿失禁的风险升高(趋势P值 = 0.04)。
随着身体虚弱严重程度的增加,尿失禁的风险升高。力量和跌倒经历与尿失禁相关。
