“…The overall prevalence rate of faecal incontinence identified in this study was relatively higher than that reported in previous population-based studies on community-dwelling older people in Western countries [5,6], but within the range of the prevalence rate in residential aged care facilities [7,8]. A number of factors may contribute to the result.…”

“…As institutionalized aged care in Indonesia is underdeveloped, the present study included a population that would probably be admitted to aged care facilities in Western countries [3,4]. Although the median age of the population in this study is younger than that of institutionalized populations [7,8], this may be influenced by the different life expectancy between Indonesia and other developed countries. The estimated life expectancy is 70.7 in Indonesia and 82.4 Australia between 2010 and 2015 [22].…”

“…The prevalence rates range from 6-12% in community dwelling older people [5,6] and between 10-60% in residents in aged care facilities [7,8]. Faecal incontinence in itself is not a life threatening condition.…”

“…UI is defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as the complaint of any involuntary loss of urine, and is associated with multi-factorial causes (3,5). Although the aging process is not a synonym of incontinence, the changes related to the process are partly responsible for the higher prevalence of the condition in elderly individuals, especially in those living in long-term institutions for the elderly (LTIE) (6). This is due not only to the presence of comorbidities, but also to the institutionalization process itself, which introduces risk factors such as pharmacological treatment or physical restrictions that influence morbidity and the use of the restroom (3).…”

Introduction: Urinary incontinence is a geriatric syndrome that generates strong economic and social impacts as well as emotional changes and negative consequences for the health of the elderly. Objective: The objective of this work was to identify the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its associated factors, as well as its impact on quality of life of institutionalized elderly. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted herein, with 10 long-term institutions for the elderly of the municipality of Natal (Northeast Brazil). The Minimum Data Set was completed by caregivers to determine the presence of incontinence, and the Short Form of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire was answered by the elderly, to assess the frequency and amount of urinary leakage, the impact on quality of life, and the type of incontinence. The chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were applied in the bivariate analysis, and logistic regression was utilized for multivariate analysis. Results: The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 42.7% (95% CI: 34.8-50.8). The impact of this condition on daily life was mild in 46.5% of cases, moderate for 29.3% of cases, and severe in 24.1% of cases. The condition was associated with functional impairment (p < 0.001; RP: 4.13).

“…UI is not a normal part of aging, but age-related conditions and changes in bladder function and PFM can contribute to loss of sphincter control in the elderly. However, elderly are more prone to other factors associated with UI: comorbidities, polypharmacy, functional limitations, cognitive impairment, and prostate diseases [36,37].…”

Introduction: Despite the technical and scientific progress that improved therapeutic resources available in Oncology, adverse effects of treatment can be prominent, impacting the quality of life (QoL). Objective: This research aims to determine the prevalence of post-radiotherapy pelvic symptoms in prostate cancer (PC) and its impact on QoL. Methods: We assessed three groups of patients at different stages during radiotherapy (RT): Pre-RT, evaluated before of RT; Post-RT#1, evaluated between six months and one year post-RT; Post-RT#2, evaluated between two and a half and four years post-RT. The presence of urinary incontinence (UI), its characteristics and impact on daily living activities (DLA) were evaluated by ICIQ-SF questionnaire. WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was used to assess QoL. Student t test was used, considering significant p < 0.05. Results: Thirty-three men were assessed (pre-RT, n = 12; Post-RT#1, n = 10; Post-RT#2, n = 11). The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was highest in Post-RT#1 group. Post-RT#2 group had the highest * RAM: Doctoral student, e-mail: alinemrib@gmail. prevalence of post-RT UI. In QoL, Pre-RT and Post-RT#2 groups experiencing the greatest impact on physical, environmental and overall QoL. Conclusion: Acute effect of RT is characterized by a high prevalence of LUTS. Post-RT#2 group experienced the most adverse effects on DLA due to a higher prevalence of post-RT UI. n = 12; n = 10; n = 11
