“…Simeonova et al [1999] measured QoL with a visual analogic scale, so that it is not possible to identify what domain in particular, if any, was especially a¡ected by UI. In the study by Araki et al [2005] of more than 7,000 nurses, the UI group had signi¢cantly lower scores in the SF-36 subscales associated with physical health (physical functioning, rolephysical, bodily pain, and general health) and some of the subscales involved in mental health (social functioning and roleemotional) than did the control group. Ko et al [2005] also report that UI a¡ects the pain domain measured by SF-36 among those older than 65 years.…”

“…Raw score data transformations (0 = worst health to 100 = best health) of all eight SF-36 scales are computed to facilitate HRQoL comparisons across SF-36 scales. The psychometrics properties of the SF-36 in AAH have been described previously 5, 16 …”

Objectives To investigate associations between quality of life (QoL) and incontinence in a population-based African-American sample. Design Cross-sectional survey. Setting Metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri. Participants Eight hundred fifty-three non-institutionalized African Americans aged 52 to 68 in the African American Health study. Measurements Respondents who reported having involuntarily lost urine over the previous month were classified as having urinary incontinence (UI), and respondents who reported having lost control of their bowels or stool over the past year were classified as having fecal incontinence (FI). QoL was measured using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the 11-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Results Prevalences of UI and FI were 12.1% (weighted n = 102/841) and 5.0% (weighted n = 42/841). Participants with UI and those with FI had worse SF-36 scores than their referent groups (physical function − 15.5 and − 38.1 points, respectively; role physical −13.2 and −26.5 points; bodily pain −15.7 and −24.5 points; general health perceptions −15.5 and −27.6 points; vitality −15.0 and −16.5 points; social functioning −18.4 and −25.6 points; role emotional −13.2 and −22.1 points; mental health −12.2 and −17.5 points; all Ps< .001), adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and chronic conditions. Proportions with clinically relevant levels of depressive symptoms were also higher in both groups (UI+17.9% P<.001) and FI (+37.2% P<.001) than in their referent groups. Conclusion UI and FI were strongly associated with worse health-related QoL as well as symptoms of depression in this population-based sample of African Americans.

“…Hsieh et al [4] demonstrated that, among 3,537 Taiwanese women aged between 20 and 59 years, 18.7% women reported having urinary incontinence. The overall prevalence of urinary incontinence in Japanese working women aged 20 to 64 years (mean 35.2) was 16.7% [5]. On the contrary, Chen et al [6] found that the prevalence of urinary incontinence in Taiwanese women is similar to that of Western women.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in a Korean national community sample of female adults aged 30-79 years. During April 2003, a national Korea telephone survey using quota sampling methods was conducted. The clinically validated computer-assisted telephone interview approach was used in the survey. Of the 1,500 subjects contacted, 1,303 were successfully interviewed (response rate 86.9%). Overall, UI was reported by 40.8%, and 22.9, 3.1, and 14.9% reported pure stress, urge, and mixed UI, respectively. The prevalence of stress, urge, and mixed UI generally did not increase with age. Urge and mixed UI had a greater impact than stress UI on daily tasks (P< 0.001), social life (P < 0.001), depression or anxiety due to UI (P < 0.001), worry about UI (P < 0.001), sex life (P < 0.001), wear protection due to UI (P = 0.011), and quality of life (P < 0.001). In subjects with pure stress UI, 28.3% reported impaired quality of life compared with 43.9% and 43.8% of subjects with urge and mixed UI. Of those individuals with stress, urge, and mixed UI, 19.1, 20.0, and 25.8% had the willingness to seek medical consultation. This study is the first to examine the prevalence of UI in Korean women. The present study revealed that there was a high prevalence of UI in this population. Our descriptive research provides a valuable insight into the need for tailored education to this population about UI.
