    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gerontology
    • Women's Health

    Background:

    • Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent condition affecting women's quality of life.
    • Identifying specific risk factors is crucial for effective prevention and treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify risk factors for urinary incontinence in women.
    • To establish criteria for risk assessment.
    • To evaluate noninvasive preventive and treatment strategies for UI.

    Main Methods:

    • An exploratory study involving 68 women assessed for UI.
    • Monthly data collection included demographics, medical diagnoses, medications, environmental factors, mobility, mental status, and 11 risk factors.
    • Women received noninvasive treatment strategies tailored to their identified risks.

    Main Results:

    • Pretreatment: 55 women at risk, 13 incontinent.
    • Posttreatment: 9 women remained incontinent.
    • Incontinent women had a greater number of risk factors.
    • 7 incontinent women reduced their risk factors posttreatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Risk-factor identification and correction are essential for effective UI prevention.
    • Noninvasive strategies linked to specific risks show clinical importance in managing UI.
    • Personalized risk assessment and intervention improve outcomes for women with urinary incontinence.
