“…At the first follow-up, we assessed incontinence type using a supplementary questionnaire7 mailed only to women with frequent incontinence because we believed that they would report precipitating circumstances of their incontinence more accurately than women with less frequent incontinence. In the NHS, due to the large number of women with incident frequent UI, the supplementary questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of 80% of the cases (n=2,183) and completed by 84%.…”

Caffeine Intake, and the Risk of Stress, Urgency and Mixed Urinary Incontinence

Purpose Although caffeine consumption is common, and is generally believed to affect bladder function, little is known regarding caffeine intake and incident urinary incontinence. Materials and Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study of 65,176 women without incontinence, aged 37–79 years, in the Nurses’ Health Studies. Incident incontinence was identified from questionnaires, during 4 years of follow-up. Caffeine intake was measured using food frequency questionnaires administered prior to incontinence development. Multivariable-adjusted relative risks for the relation between caffeine intake and incontinence risk were calculated, as well as attributable risks. Results Caffeine was not associated with incontinence monthly or more, but there was a modest, significantly increased risk of incontinence at least weekly among women with the highest versus the lowest intake (RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.06–1.34, comparing >450 vs. <150 mg/day) and a significant trend of increasing risk with increasing intake (p-value for trend=0.01). This risk appeared focused in incident urgency incontinence (RR 1.34, 95% CI 1.00–1.80 comparing >450 vs. <150 mg/day, p-value for trend=0.05), but not stress or mixed incontinence (p-values for trend=0.75 and 0.19, respectively). The attributable risk for urgency incontinence associated with high caffeine intake was 25%. Conclusions Our findings suggest that high caffeine intake, but not lower levels, is associated with a modest increase in incidence of frequent urgency incontinence; one-quarter of these cases among women with the highest level of caffeine consumption might be eliminated if high caffeine intake was eliminated. Confirmation of these findings in other studies is needed before recommendations can be made.

“…Therefore, we defined incontinence type only among cases with frequent incontinence. At the first follow-up, incontinence type was assessed on a supplementary questionnaire mailed to women with frequent incontinence 15. Due to the large number of incident cases with frequent incontinence in the NHS, the supplementary questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of 80% of the cases (n=2,171) and completed by 84% of these.…”

Objective-We calculated incidence rates of urinary incontinence by incontinence frequency and type over 4 years in Asian, black, and white women in the United States.Study Design-Prospective analyses included 76,724 participants aged 37-79 years in the Nurses' Health Study cohorts with no incontinence at baseline.Results-The 4-year incidence of incontinence at least monthly was higher in white women (7.3/100 person-years) compared with Asian (5.7/100 person-years, p=0.003) and black women (4.8/100 person-years, p<0.001). The incidence of at least weekly stress incontinence was significantly lower in black compared with white women (0.1 versus 0.8 per 100 person-years, p<0.001). The difference between black and white women in the incidence of any incontinence and stress incontinence remained significant after adjusting for known risk factors (p<0.001 for both).Conclusions-Urinary incontinence incidence differs by race. Studies to confirm these results and better understand underlying mechanisms are needed.

“…In the NHS, due to the large number of incident UI cases, a supplementary questionnaire containing validated questions to assess UI type8 was mailed to a random sample of approximately 80% of the cases (n=2,183) and completed by 84%. The same supplementary questionnaire was mailed to approximately 98% of incident cases in NHS II (n=1,169) and completed by 79%.…”

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Risk of Stress, Urge and Mixed Urinary Incontinence

Purpose-To improve understanding of the etiologic relation between type 2 diabetes and urinary incontinence (UI), we examined associations between diabetes and UI type, among 71,650 women aged 37 to 79 years in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and Nurses' Health Study II (NHS II). We pooled data from the two cohorts, and estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for age, parity, body mass index, smoking, hysterectomy, functional limitations, menopausal status, postmenopausal hormone use, incontinence-promoting medications, and study cohort. Materials and Methods-FromResults-The incidence of at least weekly UI was 5.3% (3,612/67,984) among women without type 2 diabetes and 8.7% (318/3,666) among women with diabetes. Overall, the multivariableadjusted odds of incident UI were increased 20% (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.0-1.3, p=0.01) among women with versus without type 2 diabetes. This increase appeared largely explained by significantly greater odds of urge UI (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.0-1.9, p=0.03); there was no apparent association between diabetes and either stress (p=0.3) or mixed (p=0.6) UI, although confidence intervals were somewhat wide.Conclusions-Our findings suggest that type 2 diabetes may especially influence urge UI. Further research is needed to confirm this finding and identify pathways linking these conditions.

Preference, Compliance and Initial Outcome of Therapeutic Options Chosen by Female Patients with Urinary Incontinence

Abstract: When given options, patients chose nonoperative measures first. Compliance was poor among patients who chose behavioral modification.
