Abstract: The objectives of this study was to estimate the risk of anal incontinence in morbidly obese women and to identify risk factors associated with anal incontinence in an obese population sample. A case-control study based on the registry of a university hospital obesity unit.

Most clinical studies are based on the assumption that chronically increased abdominal pressure characteristic of obesity favors the development of pelvic floor disorders (fecal and urinary incontinence and organ prolapse).…”

“…Plus précisément, l'IF était présente chez 63 % d'un sous-groupe de 256 femmes souffrant d'obésité morbide IMC = 49,3 ± 4 kg/m 2 . Le score CCF-FI médian était de 7 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] ; supérieur à neuf une fois sur trois, et l'incontinence était sévère (score > 14) une fois sur dix [7]. Dans une étude consacrée à 271 paires de soeurs jumelles (âge moyen = 47 ans), les facteurs de risque indé-pendants significativement associés à l'IA étaient : un âge supérieur à 40 ans, deux accouchements ou plus, la coexistence d'une incontinence d'urine et l'obésité [8].…”

“…Cette différence ethnique est également retrouvée pour l'IU [13]. Une autre cohorte de 1 961 femmes américaines a fait l'objet des mêmes études dans le cadre du Pelvic Floor Disorders Network : 9 % (IC 95 % : [7,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]7]) de témoins souffraient d'IF vs 15,1 % (IC 95 % : [11,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]7]) des femmes obèses ou en surpoids [12]. Seize pour cent des femmes incontinentes urinaires enrôlées dans le programme PRIDE (Program to Reduce Incontinence by Diet and Exercice) souffraient d'IF [14].…”
