Issue Codes Incontinence Products for Women
Women who do plenty of exercise appear to have a lower risk of urinary incontinence than those who are inactive, a new study has found.
Researchers at the Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child Care Hospital in China surveyed 2,603 women, all of whom were aged 20 or older, about various factors that might influence their risk of female incontinence .
They found that women with a high body mass index (BMI) tended to have an elevated risk of stress urinary incontinence, compared with those who were a healthy weight.
Those with a waist circumference between 70cm and 75cm were also more likely to rely on incontinence supplies , such as Tena Comfort Mini Pads , than those with a waistline measuring less than 70cm.
Finally, the researchers observed an inverse association between levels of physical activity and female incontinence.
Writing in the European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Biology, they concluded: “The findings that physical activity [is] inversely associated with urinary incontinence and its interaction with waist circumference warrant further investigation, particularly in prospective studies.”
