In this study, we investigated self-measured voiding time in the Japanese population.
A survey questionnaire was used to determine self-measured voiding time in Japanese participants aged ≥20 years. In addition to demographic data such as age and sex, relevant medical conditions, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal impairment and other disorders, were also recorded. Voiding time was measured whenever the participant had the urge to void.
In total, 2493 healthy individuals (1347 men, mean ± SD, age 60.50 ± 12.16 years, and 1146 women, 51.16 ± 12.97 years) participated in the survey. Self-measured voiding time was 27.71 ± 20.25 s for men, and 17.49 ± 11.87 s for women. Additionally, 1227 participants with certain diseases were included (1026 men, aged 67.12 ± 9.93 years, and 201 women, 60.26 ± 11.02 years). In this group, self-measured voiding time was significantly longer at P < 0.01 (30.71 ± 20.98 s in men, 21.28 ± 15.56 s in women). In men whose international prostate symptom score (IPSS) was >7, voiding time was significantly longer (healthy men: IPSS ≤7 n = 868, 23.9 ± 14.88 s, IPSS ≥8 n = 479, 34.6 ± 26.05 s, P < 0.05, men with comorbidities: IPSS ≤7: n = 504, 25.64 ± 15.63 s, IPSS ≥8: n = 522, 35.6 ± 24.11 s, P < 0.05).
This self-reported internet survey revealed that self-measured voiding time was longer in men than women regardless of age, and was significantly prolonged with age regardless of sex. Furthermore, self-measured voiding time could be a good screening tool to predict urinary function and health status. Geriatr Gerontol Int ••; ••: ••-•• Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; ••: ••-••.
本研究旨在调查日本人群的自我测量排尿时间。
采用问卷调查的方式，对年龄≥20 岁的日本参与者进行自我测量排尿时间。除了年龄和性别等人口统计学数据外，还记录了高血压、糖尿病、肾功能不全等相关疾病。参与者只要有排尿的冲动就会测量排尿时间。
共有 2493 名健康个体（男性 1347 名，平均年龄 60.50±12.16 岁，女性 1146 名，平均年龄 51.16±12.97 岁）参与了这项调查。男性的自我测量排尿时间为 27.71±20.25s，女性为 17.49±11.87s。此外，还纳入了 1227 名患有某些疾病的参与者（男性 1026 名，平均年龄 67.12±9.93 岁，女性 201 名，平均年龄 60.26±11.02 岁）。在该组中，自我测量的排尿时间明显更长（P<0.01，男性 30.71±20.98s，女性 21.28±15.56s）。在国际前列腺症状评分（IPSS）>7 的男性中，排尿时间明显更长（健康男性：IPSS≤7 为 868 例，23.9±14.88s，IPSS≥8 为 479 例，34.6±26.05s，P<0.05，伴有合并症的男性：IPSS≤7 为 504 例，25.64±15.63s，IPSS≥8 为 522 例，35.6±24.11s，P<0.05）。
这项自我报告的互联网调查显示，无论年龄大小，男性的自我测量排尿时间都长于女性，且无论性别如何，年龄越大，排尿时间延长越明显。此外，自我测量排尿时间可能是预测尿功能和健康状况的良好筛查工具。
