“…Sedentary lifestyle (prolonged sitting and physical inactivity) can produce changes in the musculoskeletal and vascular milieu in the pelvis and lower extremity vasculature and these changes may cause LUTS. 25 In the current study, we found that development of LUTS were affected by age, BMI, number of child-births, delivery methods, and having UI during pregnancy and postpartum. It is known that the prevalence of developing LUTS increases with advancing age.…”

Background: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in women and can interrupt daily living activities of the individuals. The study aimed at determining the LUTS prevalence and the influencing factors in nurses and civil servants working at a hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 158 female nurses and 105 female civil servants. The data were obtained with a data collection form and the Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms-Short Form. Results: This paper exposes that the prevalence of at least one LUTS was 94.2% in nurses and 97.1% in civil servants. The most common LUTS symptoms of nurses and civil servants were urgency (60.1%nurses, 81.9%civil servants) and urge incontinence (59.5%nurses, 81.9%civil servants). Nurses (60.8%) expressed significantly higher rates of having inadequate time going to the toilet due to their work conditions compared to the civil servants (41.9%) (p<0.05). BFLUTS-SF scores in terms of age, BMI, parity, having cesarean and vaginal delivery and urinary incontinence in their previous pregnancies were compared between two groups, statistically significant differences were found (p<0.05). Conclusion: Workplace conditions of the health workers should be reorganizing to have healthy urinary habits for prevent- ing them from the development of LUTS. Keywords: Lower urinary tract symptoms; prevalence; nurses; civil servants.

“…De Nunzio et al reported that physical activity is a protective factor against LUTS in male patients. Another study reported that prolonged sitting time and low physical activity levels were positively associated with the development of LUTS in a large sample of middle‐aged Korean men . So the difference in LUTS between women with a mental job and a physical job in the present study was probably due to the different degrees of physical activity.…”

“…Another study reported that prolonged sitting time and low physical activity levels were positively associated with the development of LUTS in a large sample of middleaged Korean men. 31 So the difference in LUTS between women with a mental job and a physical job in the present study was probably due to the different degrees of physical activity. In the literature, it has been reported that pregnant women living in rural areas have a higher degree of physical activity (doing domestic work) than pregnant women living in urban areas, 32 and the differences between these two groups in LUTS in the present study may also be explained by the degree of physical activity.…”

Objectives Nationwide prospective studies of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during and after pregnancy have never been conducted in mainland China. A prospective longitudinal study was performed to evaluate the association of pregnancy and delivery on LUTS in a representative sample of primiparous Chinese women. Methods A national survey on urinary incontinence (UI) was conducted in 10,098 pregnant females during late pregnancy (37 to 42 weeks of gestation) and at 6 weeks postpartum.in seven administrative regions of China from September 2007 to May 2009. No intervention was implemented. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Female Lower Urinary tract Symptoms Module (ICIQ‐FLUTS) was administered. The participants were asked about the presence of individual LUTS and rated their symptom bother. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi‐square tests, and multivariate logistic regression. Results Among all participants (mean ± SD maternal age 26.44 ± 3.97 years), the most commonly reported storage LUTS during pregnancy were nocturia (72.3%) and frequency (43.9%). LUTS were much less prevalent after childbirth than during pregnancy. Moderate to severe bother was more common during than after pregnancy. Compared with vaginal delivery (VD), cesarean section (CS) was a protective factor against voiding LUTS (AOR (adjusted odd ration), 0.66; 95% CI, 0.52‐0.82) and storage LUTS (AOR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.66‐0.83). Conclusions LUTS were much more prevalent during than after pregnancy, with nocturia and frequency being the most prevalent. Moderate or severe bother was more common during pregnancy than after pregnancy. CS was associated with a decreased prevalence both of storage and voiding LUTS after delivery.

“…Accumulating evidence suggests that modifiable metabolic and lifestyle factors are important in the etiology of BPH and LUTS including obesity, diabetes, diet and physical activity (Mongiu & McVary, 2009; Parsons et al, 2013; Raheem & Parsons, 2014). Physical activity of various intensities, including walking, has been reported not only to reduce BPH risk (Parsons & Kashefi, 2008; Platz et al, 1998), but also to delay its diagnosis and improve LUTS management (Park, Park, Chang, & Ryu, 2018; Wolin et al, 2015), presumably by decreasing autonomic nervous system over activation (Platz et al, 1998) and/or improving cardiovascular health (Parsons & Kashefi, 2008).…”

Functional Balance and Gait Characteristics in Men With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common and devastating diseases in men worldwide. Up to 50% of men exhibit evidence of BPH by the age of 50 years, and by the eighth decade of life this number surpasses 80% (Chughtai et al., 2016). Given the aging population worldwide, an overall increase in the rates of BPH is inevitable (Vuichoud & Loughlin, 2015); therefore health-care providers must be able to recognize and manage BPH and its complications accordingly. BPH is characterized by benign proliferation of the epithelial and stromal components of the prostate (Chughtai et al., 2016). This benign overgrowth pushes against the urethra and the bladder, causing increased

Sitting time, physical activity and the risk of lower urinary tract symptoms: a cohort study

Abstract: Prolonged sitting time and low physical activity levels were positively associated with the development of LUTS in a large sample of middle-aged Korean men. This result supports the importance of both reducing sitting time and promoting physical activity for preventing LUTS.
