Purpose Of Review:
Urinary incontinence is a socially disabling condition with a negative impact on quality of life, which will become an increasingly important condition as our population ages. The majority of sufferers are women who are likely to suffer with other long-term medical illnesses which limit their lifestyle.
Recent Findings:
There continues to be a dearth of data regarding the evidence-based assessment and management of both urinary incontinence and its associated conditions. This group comprises those who do not receive active treatment for their problem.
Summary:
This review examines some of the current trends in management and some interventions for older people which address the problems in a wider sense. An approach for older people is required which is more holistic and inclusive in nature.
