Two-Year Incidence, Remission, and Change Patterns of Urinary Incontinence in Noninstitutionalized Older Adults
Abstract
In this study, patterns of urinary incontinence, its severity and types were studied by three sequential data collections at annual intervals. The data are from a panel survey of a probability sample of 1,956 noninstitutionalized persons aged 60 and over residing in Washtenaw County, Michigan, who were interviewed in their homes about urine loss. Based on these self-reports, the prevalence of urinary incontinence was 18.9% in men and 37.7% in women. One-year incidence rates of about 20% among women and about 10% among men were found. One-year remission rates were about 12% for women and about 30% for men. When becoming incontinent, respondents were most likely to develop mild incontinence. Those who changed their severity level were most likely to progress from mild to moderate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
