The Underestimated Burden of Urgency Urinary Incontinence Borne by Older Women
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to understand the impact of urgency urinary incontinence (UI) on women aged 70 and older, as their experiences are often overlooked in current quality-of-life assessments. Through qualitative interviews with 22 participants, the study identified three main themes: the profound burden of UI on daily life, coping strategies employed by women, and the emotional toll that leads to isolation and loss. The findings highlight the significant distress caused by UI and the resilience of older women in navigating its challenges.
