Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary urine loss that predominantly affects older women. There is evidence that pelvic floor muscles training (PFMT) program is effective on the treatment of pelvic floor (PF) dysfunctions and is considered to be first-line treatment. The evaluation of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) function and strength is central to validate the effectiveness of the training protocol in UI decrease. The Oxford Grading Scale and manometry are fundamental to evaluate the PFM function and strength. Objective: The aim of the study was to systematize the scientific evidence about the effects of PFMT in older women, assessing the PF function and strength through Oxford Grading Scale and manometry. Methods: The research of randomized controlled clinical trials was performed through B-on, EBSCO, PEDro, Pubmed, and SciELO data carried out from 2003 to 2016. Results: A total of 35 studies were identified, 26 of these were selected and fully analyzed. From the analyzed studies (n = 26), 20 were excluded for not meeting the criteria for inclusion, and only 6 studies were classified as high methodological quality, scoring an overall 4 points according the PEDro scale. Conclusion: The PFMT seems to be effective in treating UI in older women; the Oxford Grading Scale and manometry are considered the most reliable in the random and controlled clinical trials results. However, future investigations with high methodological quality with older women are necessary to support these results.

“…However, other researchers also found rates similar to those presented in this study. 5,9,10,16 The prevalence of UI in women varies widely across the world, with rates ranging from 11.5 17 to 62.5%. 16 These differences can be attributed to the different approaches used in diagnosing (self-report or clinical examination) and to sample size.…”

“…Some UI risk factors have been highlighted in the literature, such as: delivery birth, pelvic surgeries, high body mass index, smoking, depression, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and poor health conditions in general . There is consistent evidence that UI occurrence, especially of the urge incontinence type, increases with age, especially in women …”

“…[5][6][7][8] There is consistent evidence that UI occurrence, especially of the urge incontinence type, increases with age, especially in women. 9,10 In view of the population aging experienced by Latin America countries such as Brazil and the increasing number of associated health problems such as urinary incontinence and its occurrence in women, it is necessary to identify the prevalence and variables associated with UI to organize strategies for prevention and coping.…”

Research question Which person related and clinical aspects variables are associated with the types of urinary incontinence in older women? Research problem The purpose of this study is to determine the occurrence of urinary incontinence among elderly women and verify the association between related to the person and clinical variables with types of urinary incontinence. Literature review There is a wide variation in the prevalence of urinary incontinence throughout the world, as well as among the regions of Brazil (Milsom et al., 2014). The worldwide prevalence of any type of incontinence in women has been estimated at more than 275 million in 2013, with an increase of more than 300 million by 2018. Methodology A cross‐sectional study with a quantitative aproach was conducted with 120 elderly women. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire—Short Form was used as data collection tool and all participants signed consent form. Results The prevalence of UI found was 67.5%. Regarding the type of UI, the following frequencies were found: urgency (29.2%), stress (23.3%) and mixed (15.0%). Urge incontinence was significantly associated with age (mean: 81.1 years, P: .05) and abdominal circumference (mean: 97.9 cm, P: .01). Diabetes mellitus was associated with urgency incontinence (P < .001), while hypertension showed association with stress and mixed incontinence (both with P < .001). Conclusions Urinary incontinence was present in 67.5% of elderly women living in long‐term care facilities, with a higher occurrence of urgency and stress, and parametric statistics showed an association between Urge incontinence and age and abdominal circumference.

“…The prevalence of UI in women in general equals 7-37% [2]. Despite this dysfunction being clearly associated with multiparity, advanced age, menopause, Caucasian race and female sex [3][4][5][6], different studies relate UI with physical exercise, since exercise is associated with an increase of intraabdominal pressure, as well as a descendent displacement of the pelvic organs and, consequently, damage to the muscles that support this area [7][8][9][10]. Therefore, participants of physical exercise of high impact are the most prone to developing this dysfunction [11].…”

Introduction. Urinary incontinence (UI) is perceived as a problem that affects older and multiparous women. However, recent studies report that involuntary loss of urine also affects athletes, young and nulliparous. There is controversy over the role of exercise in UI. Thus the purpose of the review is to describe and evaluate scientific evidence concerning the prevalence of UI in female volleyball athletes. Methods. The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta--Analyses (PRISMA). The selected databases were PubMed, LILACS, PEDro, Medline, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect. The searches were performed between December 2016 and January 2017. The descriptors and Boolean operators used in the search were as follows: 'urinary incontinence AND athletes AND volleyball.' After peer evaluation, 47 studies were identified, and 6 articles were selected for review. The methodological evaluation was based on Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE).Results. The review identified the UI prevalence of 9-30% during sports practice and 17-18% in the day-by-day life. Practising physical exercise of high impact appears to be a causing factor of UI in women.Conclusions. Practising volleyball in the female population can be an important UI risk factor. Owing to the high prevalence of UI, coaches and athletes must be aware of the importance of training the pelvic floor muscles simultaneously with the sports practice.
