Abstract
Although 1 million institutionalized elderly persons have urinary incontinence, little is known about the causes of this problem. We conducted clinical and physiologic studies to determine the causes of established incontinence in a representative sample of 605 institutionalized elderly persons (mean age, 89 years), of whom 40 percent were chronically incontinent of urine.This publication has 35 references indexed in Scilit:
