Risk Factors For Urinary Incontinence In Women [fatores De Risco Para Incontinência Urinária Na Mulher]

The goal of this study was to conduct a review of the main papers published between 1983 and 2003 on the main risk factors for urinary incontinence (Ul) in women. Thirty-eight publications in English and Portuguese were analyzed using the MEDLINE and LILACS databases as well as through research in libraries. There is evidence that the main risk factors are age, pelvic floor trauma, hereditary factors, race, menopausal status, obesity, chronic diseases, use of some sympathomimetics and parasympatholitics, constipation, smoking, coffee consumption and intense abdominal exercises. Nurses are able to identify these factors through anamnesis and determine interventions for the prevention and treatment of Ul, thus contributing to improve incontinent women's quality of life.421187192Simeonova, Z., Milson, I., Kullendorff, A.M., Molander, U., Bengtsson, C., The prevalence of urinary incontinence and its influence on the quality of life in women from urban Swedish population (1999) Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 78 (6), pp. 546-551Hannestad, Y.S., Rortveit, G., Sandvik, H., Hunskaar, A community-based epidemiological survey of female urinary incontinence: The Norwegian EPINCONT study (2000) J Clin Epidemiol, 55 (11), pp. 1150-1157Björnsdóttir, L.T., Geirsson, R.T., Jónsson, P.V., Urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections in octogenarian women (1998) Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 77 (1), pp. 105-109Nygaard, I.E., Thompson, F.L., Svengalis, S.L., Albrigth, J.P., Urinary incontinence in elite nulliparous athletes (1994) Obstet Gynecol, 84 (2), pp. 183-187Davis, G., Sherman, R., Wong, M.F., McClure, G., Perez, R., Hibbert, M., Urinary incontinence among female soldiers (1999) Mil Med, 164 (3), pp. 182-187Thyssem, L., Clevin, L., Olsen, S., Lose, G., Urinary incontinence in elite female athletes and dancers (2002) Int Urogynecol J, 13 (1), pp. 13-15Abrams, P., Cardoso, L., Fall, M., Griffths, D., Rosier, P., Ulmsten, U., The standardization of terminology of lower urinary tract function: Repot from the standardization sub-committee of the international continence society (2003) Urology, 61 (1), pp. 37-49O'Brien, J., Austin, M., Seth, P., O'Boyle, P., Urinary incontinence: Prevalence, need for treatment, and effectiveness of intervention by nurse (1991) BMJ, 303 (6813), pp. 1308-1312Pearson, B.D., Kelber, S., Urinary incontinence: Treatments, intervention, and outcomes (1996) Clin Nurse Spec, 10 (4), pp. 177-182Gallo, M.L., Fallon, P.J., Staskin, D.R., Urinary incontinence: Steps to evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment (1997) Nurse Pract, 22 (2), pp. 21-28Glashan, R.Q., Lelis, M.A.S., (1999) Fatores de risco associados a incontinência urinaria: É possivel modificá-los?
