Sumario: | Background: It is important to determine the relative importance of urinary incontinence in terms of its prevalence and how it affects the quality of life of women. Aim: To characterize urinary incontinence and factors associated with it in women aged over 30 years. Material and Methods: A survey about urinary incontinence and associated factors was answered by 289 women aged 30 to 81 years, attending a public primary care clinic. Results: The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 62.2%, and it was significantly associated with obesity, diabetes and a history of episiotomy. Conclusions: The high prevalence of urinary incontinence should prompt the implementation of public health measures to prevent and treat it effectively. |
