Combined behavioral and drug therapy for urge incontinence in older women
Article Abstract:
A modified crossover design study has been carried out to look at effects of combined behavioral and drug therapy for older women for urge incontinence. Combining the therapy types in a stepped program can bring added benefit, but in general the combined interventions ar more useful than either one alone. In the clinical trial were 197 ambulatory, nondemented, community-dwelling women older than 54, and 35 subjects participated in combined treatment.

Hormone replacement therapy use in urban older women attending meal sites: associations with sociodemographic and health characteristics and use of preventive services
Article Abstract:
Associations of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with sociodemographic and health characteristics and use of preventive services have been studied in the setting of community-based meal sites using the survey method. The women were older than 60 and numbered 705. Findings show only a small fraction of those studied use HRT and that efforts to increase use should focus on black women and women with no prior history of osteoporosis.
