title: [Occurrence of urinary incontinence. A literature review with special attention to factors which contribute to differences in occurrence].
abstract: The published epidemiologic data on urinary incontinence are often inconsistent, and estimates of prevalence vary widely. There are several reasons for these discrepancies: the wide range in definitions, difference in survey setting and survey methodology all contribute to the large variations in the reported prevalence. This article reviews prevalence studies, and discusses the issues of definition and measurement of urinary incontinence.
