Abstract
The majority of 200 women in community living between the ages of 55 and 90 described themselves as having some degree of uncontrolled urine loss. They reported severe wetting (63%) on a daily basis (69%), and most (56%) had had the problem for more than five years. These women completed the diagnostic phase of a treatment‐evaluation program currently in process.Keywords
