Urinary incontinence disproportionately affects women. Urinary incontinence results in significant physical, social, and psychological adverse consequences that impair women’s quality of life and contribute to considerable healthcare costs. At the moment, the contemporary burden of urinary incontinence in US women is unknown. Therefore, we described the prevalence and recent trends in urinary incontinence by its subtypes and explored correlates of urinary incontinence in a population-based sample of US women in the NHANES study.
