[Prevalence of different types of urinary incontinence and concomitant diseases in elderly patients].
This article presents the data on the prevalence of different types of urinary incontinence and concomitant diseases on the basis of answers to questions obtained from 398 patients over 65 years. We have analyzed the relationship among certain diseases in patients with urgent and stress incontinence. Lower urinary tract symptoms were more common in men over the age of 70 years; no such a tendency in women was observed. Among the patients older than 70 years, the probability of urgency and urgent incontinence increases significantly, regardless of gender. In older women the urgent and mixed urinary incontinence associates with the concomitant diseases. Stress urinary incontinence in women was not associated with any of the indicators of general health and social activity.
