介绍和假设-本研究的目的是描述骨盆底肌肉功能（PFMF）在一般女性人口的年龄和产次，并测试是否力量/耐力测量代表所有功能的骨盆底musculations.Methods的一个横断面研究进行了95%的妇女年龄在45-85岁，从荷兰的一个小镇。验证问卷被用来获得一般信息，并进行阴道检查，以测试PFMF的649名妇女。采用卡方检验分析PFMF与年龄、胎次的关系。结果调查问卷的回答率为62.7%（1,869/2,979）。PFM的强度和耐力是不呈正相关的有效不随意肌收缩在cocking.Conclusions随意肌收缩随年龄的增长而下降，但没有关系的奇偶性。单独的肌肉力量和耐力测量不足以灵敏地确定PFMF。
Introduction and hypothesis The objective of this study is to describe pelvic floor muscle function (PFMF) in relation to age and parity in a general female population and to test whether strength/endurance measurements represent all functions of the pelvic floor musculature.Methods A cross-sectional study was performed on 95% of the women aged 45-85 years from a small Dutch town. Validated questionnaires were used to obtain general information, and vaginal examination to test PFMF was performed on 649 women. Chi-square tests were used to analyse the relation between PFMF versus age and parity. Analysis of variance was used to compare muscle strength and endurance to the other PFMF items.Results Response rate to the questionnaire was 62.7% (1,869/2,979). PFM strength and endurance are not positively associated with the effective involuntary muscle contractions during coughing.Conclusions Voluntary muscle contractions decreased with age, but there was no relation with parity. Muscle strength and endurance measurements alone are not sensitive enough to determine PFMF.
