“…Indonesia and Malaysia share same culture, and the study also used a similar method that was utilized in this one to diagnose chronic constipation. 4 The researchers concluded that the difference in the results may be due to our study population consisting of elderly patients with poorer health status.…”

“…In previous studies, the prevalence of chronic constipation was higher among older people in Western countries 5,[16][17][18] than in Asia (21% to 75% vs. 16.5% to 25.8%). 4,9,19,20 Previous studies suggested that a high prevalence was probably due to the study population consisting of high-risk populations, such as nursing home residents 16,21 and women, 5 and the use of self-reporting or questionnaires. 1 A study of older people's households in Indonesia found that the prevalence was 16.5%, which was lower than of this study.…”

“…1,2 Several studies have reported a wide variation in the prevalence of chronic constipation among community-dwelling older people, ranging from 16.5% to 75% of the population in question. 1,[3][4][5] Nevertheless, a lack of knowledge and understanding among older people of the symptoms may result in under-or overreporting of its occurrence.…”

Background:This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, symptoms, and factors associated with chronic constipation among community-dwelling older people in the East Coast region of Peninsular Malaysia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in four selected health clinics using stratified cluster sampling. A face-to-face interview was carried out among the elderly outpatients, in order to complete a structured questionnaire. Results: A total of 400 participants were included in the study. The mean age was 68.7 ± 6.4 years, and 55% of the cohort were women. The prevalence of chronic constipation was 32.3% among the sample population. The most common symptom was "sensation of incomplete evacuation" (63.6%), and none of the participants reported having "less than three defecations per week," "straining," or "lumpy or hard stool." Educational level (p = 0.005), number of defecations per week, stool form, time spent for defecation, and abdominal bloating were significantly associated with chronic constipation (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Chronic constipation was common in older people and associated with a low educational level. Recognition of symptoms was predominantly based on clinical features of constipation and will require the healthcare providers to consider these factors in their routine assessment of older people.

“…Studies of older adult populations spanned 8 countries with seven studies conducted in US populations (see Table 2). [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88] The prevalence of chronic constipation has ranged widely from 4% in Indonesia [72] to 25.8% in Korea. [73] For any constipation, prevalence has ranged from 4.4% in Spain [74] to 44.5% in the USA.…”

This review of over 80 articles published in the last 30 years shows that estimates of the prevalence of chronic constipation in community-dwelling adults varied widely from 2.4% to 39.6% in general adult populations and from 4% to 25.8% in older adult populations. Estimates of the prevalence of any constipation (including both chronic and sporadic constipation) also varied widely from 2.6% to 31.0% in general adult populations and from 4.4% to 44.5% in older adult populations. Apart from any country or regional differences, this wide range of estimated prevalence may be attributed to different definitions used for both chronic and any constipation as well as different data collection methods and sampling differences. Sampling issues include sample size, representativeness and age range of populations sampled. Further research is required to examine the impact of different definitions on prevalence estimates to help determine the best definitions for use in future epidemiological studies. If standard definitions can be universally agreed and used, along with appropriate sampling and data collection methods, more precise estimates of constipation prevalence should be attained. This would allow more meaningful comparisons between countries and may also provide the ability to pool results.

The researchinstruments were used to evaluate obstetric risk factors and theanal incontinence was the self-administered questionnaire and FecalIncontinence Severity Index. The data were analyzed statisticallyusing the Chi-square test with the significant value of p<0.05.Results: A total of 300 subjects were recruited in this study. Theresearch results indicated that the parity of  3, the assisted vaginaldelivery history (vacuum extraction), and the prolong secondstage of labor had a significant correlation with the anal incontinencewith p value=0.026, OR (95% CI) = 1.8 (1.07-3.03), p=0.018with OR (95% CI) =3.65 (1.2-10.7) and p=0.006 with OR (95% CI)= 2.9 (1.2-6.7).The history of episiotomy and the delivery of thebaby  4000 gram had no correlation with the anal incontinence.Conclusion: Parity, vacuum delivery and prolong second stage oflabor have an association with anal incontinence among womenwho has history of vaginal delivery.Keywords: anal incontinence, obstetric risk factors, vaginal delivery
