Abstract ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its effect on life quality among female adults in Hangzhou, and to provide evidence to the control of female urinary incontinence. MethodsA questionnaire survey was performed in Gongshu and Xiacheng districts in Hangzhou from October 2013 to June 2014, and 4 563 women aged over 20 years were interviewed through a questionnaire including International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Lower Urinary Tract, IQ-FLUTS and demographic information. Single and multi factor logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of urinary incontinence. ResultsA total of 4 785 questionnaires were sent, and 4 563 effective questionnaires were recovered,with a recovery rate of 95.4%.The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 33.5%(1 530/4 563), and female with older age tended to have a higher prevalence of UI(P<0.01). Among which stress urinary incontinence(SUI),urge incontinence(UUI)and mixed urinary incontinence(MUI) were accounted for 20.2%(922/4 563), 3.0%(135/4 563) and 10.3%(473/4 563) respectively.UUI and MUI had a greater effect on quality of life. According to the multi factor logistic regression analysis, gravidity, age, constipation, pelvic surgery and fat(BMI>24) were risk factors for urinary incontinence (P<0.05).ConclusionBecause of the high prevalence of urinary incontinence among female adults, more attention should be paid to urinary incontinence suffers in order to improve the quality of life of female adults.
