Urinary Incontinence

Who has it?

Urinary incontinence can affect both men and women, at any age. However, the incidence of urinary incontinence increases in individuals who are 65 years or older, occurring in one of every 10 elderly individuals. Additionally, it is more predominant in patients who are in long-term care facilities, particularly women - whose first symptoms often appear at the start of menopause.
