1060名18岁或以上的妇女，从南威尔士的一个特定的地理区域随机选择，在家中接受采访，了解她们的泌尿系统症状。95%的人合作，其中45%承认有一定程度的尿失禁。22%的女性报告了“压力性尿失禁”，10%报告了“急迫性尿失禁”，14%报告了两种类型的综合性尿失禁。在大多数妇女中，尿量很小，也不常见，但5%的妇女尿量大到需要更换衣服; 2.6%的妇女每天都有尿量。超过3%的妇女报告说，尿失禁干扰了她们的社会或家庭生活，但只有一半的人寻求了医疗建议。
One thousand and sixty women aged 18 or over, randomly selected from a defined geographical area in South Wales, were interviewed at home about their urinary symptoms. Ninety-five per cent co-operated, of whom 45% admitted to some degree of incontinence. "Stress' incontinence was reported by 22% of women, "urge' incontinence by 10%, and both types combined--"complex'--by 14%. In most women urinary loss was both small and infrequent but 5% of all women experienced a loss sufficient to necessitate a change of clothes; in 2.6% such loss occurred daily. Over 3% of all women reported that incontinence interfered with their social or domestic life but only half of these had sought medical advice.
