“…The higher prevalence of UUI and mixed UI in the elderly women of this study confirms the findings of other authors 12,13,22,23 . The elderly women reported having lived with urine leakage for a median of three years, which corroborates the findings of other studies on women, particularly elderly, that state that these individuals live with UI for long periods of time before seeking help 20,21,24,25 . Even more concerning is the fact that 25% of them had been living with UI for 7.7 years or longer without seeking help (Table 2).…”

“…In our study, the two methods used to assess PFM function proved to be equivalent, in accordance with other authors' findings 6,11,17,18 . Therefore, it is possible that the use of the bidigital test (a simple, practical and inexpensive method to measure PFM function) combined with pelvic floor kinesiotherapy (also a simple, practical and easy method to be applied) will enable the implementation of UI-related care in the public health system, including its treatment and prevention, as suggested by Knorst et al 19 This possibility is even more relevant when we consider the prevalence of UI found in the present study in light of the impact that this dysfunction has on the QOL of individuals affected by it 2,20,21 , as stated in several reports found in the literature worldwide.…”

“…The most common isolated situation in which the elderly women reported losing urine was not being able to arrive at a bathroom in time, which was characterized as urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) 21 . Few elderly women reported loss of urine in isolated situations that required effort (coughing, sneezing, laughing, etc.…”

| The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of self-reported urinary loss in elderly women living in the city of Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), as well as to determine the relation between urinary incontinence (UI) and pelvic floor muscle function (PFMF). It included 270 elderly women (aged from 60 to 92 years) from a population sample, who reported the presence (n=155; 69.1±7.8 years) or absence (n=115; 67.7±7.9 years) of urine loss. Those who reported UI were asked about how long they had been experiencing urinary leakage, the amount of urine lost (drops, jets or complete micturition) and situations in which they lost urine. Out of the total number of individuals, 178 agreed to undergo the assessment of PFMF by means of a perineometry and a bidigital test. The prevalence of elderly women who reported UI (57.4%) was significantly higher, and the most common isolated situation of urine loss was being unable to get to the toilet in time (26.1%), and this occurred mainly in drops (52.3%). The UI lasted for a median of three years. The elderly women with UI had significantly lower PFMF than those without it, regardless of the type of measurement used (perineometry or bidigital test). Therefore, we conclude that, in this sample, UI had a high prevalence and was associated with decreased PFMF. Bearing these findings in mind and taking into account the data available in the literature about the impact of UI on health and quality of life, as well as the low cost of its assessment and treatment, we suggest that the management and care of this dysfunction should be carried out at the Primary Health Care level.Keywords | Pelvic Diaphragm; Physical Therapy Specialty; Aged; Women's Health.RESUMO | O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalên-cia do relato de perda urinária em idosas residentes no município de Porto Alegre (RS-Brasil), bem como determinar a relação entre incontinência urinária (IU) e a função muscular do assoalho pélvico (FMAP). Participaram 270 idosas (60 a 92 anos) provenientes de uma amostra populacional, que relataram (n=155; 69,1±7,8 anos) ou não (n=115; 67,7±7,9 anos) perda urinária. As idosas que referiram IU foram questionadas quanto a: duração da perda urinária, quantidade de urina perdida (gotas, jato ou completa) e situações em que perdiam urina. Desse total, 178 aceitaram ser submetidas a uma avaliação da FMAP por meio da perineometria e do teste bidigital. A prevalência de idosas com relato de IU (57,4%) foi significativamente mais elevada, sendo que a situação isolada de perda miccional mais

“…A IU e sua severidade aumentam com a idade (MARQUES et al, 2015), considerado também esse fato em outro estudo de SOUZA et al, (2015). Os resultados deste estudo, com relação ao estado civil, revelaram que a maioria (70%) dos pacientes atendidos no setor uroginecológico da clinica de fisioterapia eram casados, o que corrobora com os achados do estudo de KNORST et al (2011).…”

RESUMOA falta de continência urinária, caracterizada pela perda involuntária de urina, acomete a qualidade de vida dos portadores, afetando o contato social, a higiene e a vida sexual. Assim, fazem se necessários estudos sobre o perfil sociodemográfico e clínico de pacientes acometidos por essa disfunção. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o perfil sociodemográfico e clínico de pacientes com incontinência urinária atendidos no setor de Fisioterapia Uroginecológica de uma clínica escola do noroeste do Paraná. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com dados secundários coletados de prontuários de 2013 a 2015. A maior ocorrência de incontinência urinária foi encontrada na faixa etária de 66 a 75 anos. Verificou-se que 66,67% dos participantes apresentaram Incontinência Urinária Mista, 21,21% Incontinência Urinária de Esforço e 12,12% Incontinência Urinária de Urgência. A maior prevalência de incontinência urinária nos pacientes da Clínica Escola foi encontrada no sexo feminino, em idosos, sendo que o tipo misto foi o de maior ocorrência, embora com relatos de perda com intensidade leve.

“…En Chile, Salazar y colaboradores determinaron una prevalencia de IU de 62,2% en una población cerrada 8 y Hardwardt y colaboradores determinaron una prevalencia de 77% en mujeres de Isla de Pascua 9 . A pesar de que la IU no representa una amenaza para la vida, tiene una influencia negativa sobre la condición física, psicológica y social de las mujeres y está asociada con una importante disminución en la calidad de vida e importantes costos directos e indirectos en salud [10][11][12][13][14] .…”
