Introduction: To investigate the association between bladder capacity and the urine production rate in aged men with or without nocturia using a frequency volume chart (FVC). Materials and Methods: One-hundred and thirty-eight men aged 65–80 years were enrolled. After the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and 3 consecutive days FVC were evaluated, men were divided into 2 groups: Nocturia group, with any total IPSS, and ≥1.5 micturition on average at night; and Control group, with total IPSS < 8 and < 1.5 micturition on average at night. Each parameter was compared between the 2 groups using unpaired t tests. Linear and multiple regression analyses were performed between the urine production rate and volume/voids. Results: Men numbering 45 and 21 were assigned to the Nocturia and Control groups respectively. There were no differences in background factors between the 2 groups. Volume/voids positively correlated with the urine production rate in both groups for day and night. A multivariate regression model also showed the same results. In the Control group, the degree of slope at night was higher than that during the day. However, in the Nocturia group, there were no differences in the degree of slope between day and night. Conclusions: This novel finding has led to a possibility for resolving nocturia.

Objective To examine the prevalence, predictors and effects of nocturia in women, and evaluate overlaps with established urinary tract disorders. Methods This was a cross-sectional analysis of 2,016 women, aged 40 years and older, recruited from Kaiser Permanente Northern California from 2008 to 2012. Nocturia and other urinary symptoms were assessed using structured interviewer-administered questionnaires. Nocturia was defined as patient-reported nocturnal voiding of two or more times per night over a typical week. Results Thirty-four percent (n=692) reported nocturia, and 40% of women with nocturia reported no other urinary tract symptom. Women with nocturia were older (mean age 58 versus 55) (OR per 5-year increase 1.21 [95% CI, 1.12-1.31]) more likely Black (45%) (OR 1.75, [95% CI, 1.30-2.35]) or Latina (37%) (OR 1.36 [95% CI, 1.02-1.83]) versus non-Latina White (30%), have worse depression (mean Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score 3.8 versus 2.8)(OR per 1-point increase in HADS score 1.08 [95% CI, 1.04-1.12]) and worse mobility (mean Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) 11.3 versus 10 seconds) (OR per 5-second increase in TUG 1.29 [95% CI, 1.05-1.58]). Nocturia occurred more among women with hysterectomy (53% versus 33%) (OR 1.78 [95% CI, 1.08-2.94]), hot flashes (38% versus 32%) (OR 1.49 [95% CI, 1.19-1.87]), and vaginal estrogen use (42% versus 34%) (OR 1.50 [95% CI, 1.04-2.18]). Conclusion Nocturia is common in women and not necessarily attributable to other urinary tract disorders. Factors not linked to bladder function may contribute to nocturia risk, underlining the need for multi-organ prevention and treatment strategies.

“…Additionally, overall rates of nocturia prevalence may have been misleading in some previous studies because the age distribution of the sample was not equal. The estimated prevalence of nocturia varies from approximately 20% to 44% due to one or more voids in younger women [2]. …”

A Population-Based Study of Factors Associated With Nocturia in Reproductive-Aged Turkish Women

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence of nocturia according to the International Continence Society (ICS) definition in Turkish women and to determine the associated risk factors and the correlation of other voiding symptoms with nocturia.Materials and MethodsA prospective epidemiological study was carried out by use of self-reported questionnaires in 4,250 reproductive-aged women from January 2013 to May 2013. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form and a questionnaire developed by the researchers according to the ICS were administered to define nocturia and other lower urinary tract symptoms. Other physical, reproductive, and health characteristics were also recorded concurrently.ResultsOverall, 1,636 women were included in the final analyses. The women had an average age of 34.4±5.26 years. The overall prevalence of nocturia was 34.7% (567 of 1,636 women). Women with nocturia were older (p<0.001), had a higher body mass index (p=0.026), and had more children (p<0.001). Nocturia occurred more frequently in women with a history of nocturnal enuresis (p<0.001). Three or more pregnancies, 3 or more deliveries, and age >40 years were significant risk factors for nocturia. We also found that other lower urinary tract symptoms correlated significantly (p<0.001) with nocturia.ConclusionsAlthough the prevalence of nocturia is higher with increasing age, younger adults are also affected. Nocturia may cause sleep disorders, mood disturbances, reduced quality of life, and distractibility. Thus, even if one void nightly causes a patient to experience bother, nocturia should be queried about and should be treated if necessary according to the cause of the disease.
