title: [Urinary incontinence in the elderly].
abstract: Our objective was to look at urinary incontinence in the elderly, and what measures could be taken to help this group of people alleviate the problems they may have in regard to their incontinence. We have done this through the use of recent literature. Our desire is to help more patients achieve a higher quality of life as their incontinence problems diminish.
