Deficiency and Incontinence: Is There an Association?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results . Some form of incontinence (UI or FI or both) was found in 41% of subjects, isolated UI in 34%, double incontinence (DI) in 12%, and isolated FI in 4%. Having UI increased the risk of also having FI ( p .0001). Serum B 12 levels of 300 pg/ml or less were not predictive of isolated UI or isolated FI. However, in logistic regression, DI was predicted by B 12 (odds ratio [OR] 2.113, p .0094), IADLs (OR 0.810, p .0001), cathartics/laxative use (OR 1.902, p .126), and diuretic use (OR 2.226, p .006). Considering isolated UI in women, higher IADLs reduced risk of UI (OR 0.956, p .002), while diuretics (OR 1.481, p .041) and antihistamines (OR 1.909, p .046) both increased risk of UI. In men, only use of anticonvulsant medications (OR 4.529, p .023) increased risk of isolated UI. Greater physical illness in both genders increased risk of isolated FI (OR 1.204, p .006).
