title: Reasons for not seeking care for urinary incontinence in older community-dwelling women: a contemporary review.
abstract: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a reality for many women and can have a significant impact on quality of life. However, rates of seeking care for UI are low. This literature review compiles current research examining themes related to care-seeking behavior of older adult community-dwelling women, identifies any gaps in the recent literature, and provides suggestions for future research directions.
