Using prospective data from 983 British women born in 1946, the study aims to describe the profiles of symptoms of stress, urge, and severe incontinence, and to relate these to change in quality of life. Based on the longitudinal patterns of symptoms experienced, four groups of women were defined: ‘low symptom’, ‘onset’, ‘recovering’, and ‘chronic’. Childhood enuresis was associated with being in the ‘chronic’ group for urge and severe incontinence. Women in the ‘recovering’ group for stress incontinence experienced an improvement in the physical health domain (regression coefficient (95% CI): 0.1(0.02, 0.18)) compared with women without symptoms. This relationship existed beyond the effects of ageing, menopausal status, current life stress, and reproductive, lifestyle, and social factors. More research is needed to understand the mechanism that link childhood enuresis to being in the ‘chronic’ group for urge and severe incontinence.

一项关于尿失禁类型对中年生活质量影响的纵向调查：来自英国前瞻性研究的结果

该研究使用来自 1946 年出生的 983 名英国女性的前瞻性数据，旨在描述压力、冲动和严重失禁症状的概况，并将这些与生活质量的变化联系起来。根据所经历症状的纵向模式，定义了四组女性：“低症状”、“发作”、“恢复”和“慢性”。儿童遗尿症与急迫和严重失禁的“慢性”组有关。与没有症状的女性相比，压力性尿失禁“恢复”组的女性在身体健康领域有所改善（回归系数（95% CI）：0.1（0.02，0.18））。这种关系的存在超出了衰老、更年期状态、当前生活压力以及生殖、生活方式和社会因素的影响。
