P提示了非自愿尿失的普遍程度，并对所需的医疗和自我保健水平具有重要意义。发病率估计提供了该病发病的指示，在研究其发展、危险因素和后遗症时至关重要。早期对社区中尿失禁患病率的估计几乎完全来自欧洲的研究。对这些研究的几篇综述指出，对尿失禁的患病率估计各不相同，他们认为尿失禁的定义和样本的差异是造成差异的主要原因。最近，从美国区域或国家样本中获得了一些患病率估计，这些样本以前没有经过审查，在一些情况下也没有正式发表。这篇文章完善了自1970年以来发表或进行的美国和非美国研究的患病率和发病率估计。这些研究使用调查对象的非自愿失尿报告来测量尿失禁的患病率，并在某些情况下测量尿失禁类型的发生率和症状。有些估计数必须根据报告的或计算机化的数据来计算。由于一些研究的研究设计和测量信息不完整，估计只能作为近似值。有关重估程序的进一步详情载于附录。
P provide an indication of how widespread involuntary urine loss is and have important implications for the level of medical and self-care that is needed. Incidence estimates provide an indication of the onset of the condition and are critical when studying its development, risk factors, and sequelae. Early estimates of prevalence of incontinence in the community came almost exclusively from European studies. Several reviews of these studies are The reviews point out that prevalence estimates vary, and they suggest that differences in the definition of incontinence and in the sample account for much of the variability. More recently, several prevalence estimates have become available from regional or national US samples that had not been previously reviewed nor, in several instances, been formally published. This article complles prevalence and incidence estimates from American and non-American studies published or conducted since 1970. These studies used survey respondents’ reports of involuntary urine loss to measure prevalence and, in some cases, incidence and symptoms of types of urinary incontinence. Some estimates had to be calculated from reported or computerized data. Because information regarding study design and measurement was incomplete for some of the studies, the estimates must be taken as close approximations only. Further details about the reestimation procedures are given in the Appendix.
