Prevalence of combined fecal and urinary incontinence: a community-based study
Article Abstract:
Prevalence of combined fecal/urinary incontinence has been investigated in a cross-sectional community-based study with 778 men and 762 women. Persons with one form of incontinence are likely to have both forms. Urinary and fecal incontinence is more prevalent in women, but the association of fecal incontinence with urinary incontinence was stronger in men than in women, and it seems etiologies may be more closely linked in men than in women. Significant association was found between fecal incontinence and age in men but not in women.
