“…This is consistent with studies reporting UL in comparable age groups [1,5,9]. SUL was more frequently reported than UUL and MUL in this study as well and the number of incontinent women was low, as reported by other authors [1,3,4,5].…”

“…The prevalence of UL and UI in pre-pregnancy females shows, in this study as well as in other studies, a great variance due to definition used and population studied as well as study design [1,2,3,4,5]. 1 Number of women in the total study group and subgroups and percent leaking women within brackets.…”

“…lack of bladder control/ sphincter insufficiency is a clinical problem and a significant cause of disability and dependence. The prevalence of urinary leakage among women varies between 3 and 52% in different studies [1,2,3,4,5]. During the last decade, the definition of urinary leakage (UL) and urinary incontinence (UI) has been discussed.…”

In order to survey the influence of physical activity and micturition habits on urinary leakage (UL) in women before their first pregnancy, a study including 725 women attending nine maternity clinics in the northwest area of Stockholm was performed. During the 36th gestational week the women answered a questionnaire regarding the pre-pregnancy situation regarding UL, micturition habits and physical activity. Thirty-nine percent of the women, mean age of 28 (range 17-43) years, had experienced occasional UL. Of these, the majority (79%) had symptoms of stress urinary leakage and 21% had urge symptoms. Two percent were incontinent according to the definition of the International Continence Society (ICS). In a multivariate analysis age, inability to interrupt the urine flow and high-impact physical activity turned out to be independent risk factors for UL and thus should be observed together with traditional factors concerning UL in nulliparous women.

“…Among young and middle-aged women, the prevalence of stress incontinence has been consistently shown to be higher than mixed incontinence, and the prevalence of mixed incontinence greater than urge incontinence [Hording et al, 1986;Holst and Wilson, 1988;Burgio et al, 1991;Makinen et al, 1991;Sandvik et al, 1995;Yarnell et al, 1981]. In older women (>60 years), there is less agreement between studies.…”

Response rates were 50, 83, and 80% in the young, mid-age, and older women, respectively. Most women confirmed that they had leaked urine in the past month, and the majority of these were cases of "mixed" incontinence. Incontinence severity tended to increase with BMI for women of all ages, and increased severity scores were associated with having urine that burns or stings. Additional independent risk factors for increasing incontinence severity were heavy smoking in young women, past or present use of hormone replacement therapy in older women, and BMI and history of hysterectomy in mid-age women.
