“…One Taiwanese study reported adult OAB prevalence to be 16.9%, similar to the rate of 15.8% in Taiwanese men and women in the present study. However, another study conducted in Taiwan (in women only) reported higher OAB prevalence, ranging between 21.0% and 34.8% depending on the OAB definition used . OAB prevalence rates above the levels reported herein have also been observed in 2 international Asian studies.…”

“…However, an OAB prevalence of 26.3% based on IPSS was reported in a Chinese study of men aged >50 years,17 which is comparable with the prevalence of 21.4% among Chinese men aged ≥40 years in the present study.A previous Korean study reported OAB prevalence to be 12.2%,11 below the rate of 19.7% reported herein, but this difference could be attributable to the population in the other study being aged ≥18 years.One Taiwanese study reported adult OAB prevalence to be 16.9%,16 similar to the rate of 15.8% in Taiwanese men and women in the present study. However, another study conducted in Taiwan (in women only) reported higher OAB prevalence, ranging between 21.0% and 34.8% depending on the OAB definition used 8.

“…7 Few international population-based data are available regarding the prevalence of OAB in Asia, and there is considerable variation between published estimates. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Consequently, our understanding of the true burden of OAB in Asia is limited.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of overactive bladder (OAB) in individuals aged ≥40 years in China, Taiwan, and South Korea.Methods: The present cross-sectional population-representative Internet-based study investigated OAB symptoms in men and women aged ≥40 years using the overactive bladder symptom score. Additional instruments included the International Index of Erectile Function (men only) and the Sexual Quality of Life -Female (women only) questionnaires, as well as Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC).Results: In all, 8284 individuals participated in the study. The prevalence of OAB was 20.8% overall (women 22.1%, men 19.5%) and increased significantly with age, from 10.8% in those aged 40-44 years to 27.9% in those aged >60 years (P = .001). The presence of comorbid conditions (e.g. neurological disease, diabetes) was associated with a significantly increased prevalence of OAB.Increasing symptom severity was associated with significantly worsening patient perception of bladder condition responses. Just under half (48%) of those with no OAB had no lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), whereas 88% of those with severe symptoms had all 3 LUTS (International Continence Society definition) symptom categories (voiding, post-micturition, and storage symptoms). Of those without OAB, 10% reported visiting healthcare professionals for urinary symptoms, compared with 64% of those with severe OAB symptoms (P = .001). Increased symptom severity was significantly associated with lower sexual quality of life in both men and women.Conclusions: OAB symptoms were found to affect 1 in 5 individuals aged ≥40 years in China, Taiwan, and South Korea, becoming more common with increasing age. The results suggest that many more individuals with OAB could benefit by consulting healthcare professionals. K E Y W O R D SChina, overactive bladder, prevalence, Republic of Korea, Taiwan

“…In China, however, even though Wang et al [39] adopted the ICS definition in a CS study with 14,844 persons, the overall prevalence of OAB was relatively lower (6.0%) than in other countries and nocturia was the most prevalent symptom besides urgency. Chen et al [40] reanalyzed the data from their previous CS study with 1,247 Taiwanese women in 2012 by using the ICS definition. After excluding individuals who had a single symptom such as nocturia or frequency only, the prevalence of OAB decreased from 34.8% to 20.9%.…”

Epidemiology of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: Emphasis on the Status in Korea

A comprehensive and correct understanding of epidemiologic finding about lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is important for several reasons. First, LUTS are highly prevalent in both genders all around the world and are expected to be a major concern to physicians in the near future because of the rapid rise in the elderly population. Second, it is crucial to observe trends in prevalence when national health care policy is established. By using a Medline search with various terms related to LUTS and prevalence, a review of epidemiologic studies was undertaken with an emphasis on the status in Korea. Despite the suggestions made by the International Continence Society, the lack of uniform definitions and the lack of a unified threshold of symptoms are the biggest obstacles in epidemiologic study with regard to LUTS. Most Korean epidemiologic studies on LUTS have been reported since 2000 and reveal that the prevalences of specific clinical conditions, such as LUTS, benign prostatic hyperplasia, overactive bladder, and detrusor underactivity, are in line with prevalences in Western counties. However, the prevalence of nocturia is somewhat different from that in Western countries. Many epidemiologic studies of LUTS have provided us with valuable information and a better understanding of the clinical conditions. Given that the impact of these clinical conditions on quality of life and health care cost will be emphasized more in the near future, more studies on optimal management approaches to LUTS are needed on the basis of this knowledge.

“…It has further been proven that autonomic system disorders are connected with OAB pathogenesis and may increase cardiovascular risk. The results of the Women's Health Initiative Observation Study revealed that hypertension was diagnosed in 42.4% of women aged 50–79, and the highest percentage of female patients suffering from OAB belongs to this age group …”
