Thirty-five percent of a sample of 100 elderly patients suffering from a degree of cognitive impairment were found to have urinary incontinence. They were significantly older, had lower memory and information scores and were more disorientated, hyperactive, aphasic, apraxic and socially incompetent than their continent counterparts. Their diagnosis was more likely to be a combination of senile and arteriosclerotic dementia (ICD-9); they suffered less often from concomitant functional psychiatric disease and showed a higher mortality rate (at 18 months' follow-up) than the patients without incontinence.
在100名患有一定程度认知障碍的老年患者样本中，35%被发现存在尿失禁问题。与没有尿失禁的患者相比，他们年龄显著更大，记忆和信息得分更低，且更易出现定向障碍、多动、失语、失用以及社交能力不足。他们的诊断更有可能是老年性和动脉硬化性痴呆的组合（国际疾病分类第九版）；他们较少伴有功能性精神疾病，且（在18个月的随访中）死亡率高于无尿失禁的患者。
