During a one-year morbidity survey of urinary tract diseases in general practice 741 cases were diagnosed. Only about half of all the patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection had significant bacteriuria. In young women urinary tract infections and symptoms from the urinary tract without bacteriuria-in particular urethritis-were found to predominate. In middle-aged women, the urinary tract symptoms were ascribed increasingly to genital prolapse, while incidence of urolithiasis was the highest in any group, and urinary tract infections became less frequent. The prevalence of urinary tract infection showed another increase in elderly women, and recurrent/chronic pyelonephritis, which occurs with a steadily increasing prevalence throughout all age groups, became common.In younger male urological patients diseases with symptoms of urinary tract infection without bacteriuria were predominant, whereas prostatitis and urinary tract infections were less frequent. In middle-aged men, urolithiasis was especially frequent, while an increasing proportion of elderly men had prostatic hypertrophy, urinary tract infections, and recurrent/chronic pyelonephritis.
在一项针对普通门诊泌尿系统疾病的为期一年的发病率调查中，共诊断出741例病例。在所有有泌尿系统感染症状的患者中，只有约一半有显著菌尿。在年轻女性中，泌尿系统感染以及无细菌尿的泌尿系统症状——尤其是尿道炎——占主导地位。在中年女性中，泌尿系统症状越来越多地归因于生殖器脱垂，而尿石症的发病率在所有群体中最高，泌尿系统感染则变得不那么频繁。老年女性中泌尿系统感染的患病率再次上升，复发性/慢性肾盂肾炎在所有年龄组中患病率稳步上升，变得很常见。在较年轻的男性泌尿系统疾病患者中，无细菌尿的泌尿系统感染症状的疾病占主导地位，而前列腺炎和泌尿系统感染则较少见。在中年男性中，尿石症尤为常见，而老年男性中前列腺肥大、泌尿系统感染和复发性/慢性肾盂肾炎的比例越来越高。
