Prevalence of Urinary Incontinence in the United States 2015-2020

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to estimate the prevalence of symptomatic urinary incontinence (UI) among women in the United States from 2015 to 2020, as previous national data was over a decade old. Their findings revealed a weighted prevalence of 22.3%, a significant increase from the 17.1% reported in 2005-2010, with mixed UI being the most common subtype. The study also identified associations between UI and factors such as obesity, age, and the presence of multiple comorbidities.
