对来自亚洲11个国家的5502名女性进行了问卷调查，以确定膀胱过动症（OAB）的患病率，并确定与该疾病发生相关的因素。OAB的总患病率为53.1%。最常见的症状是急症（65.4%）。21%的OAB人群出现尿失禁，在亚洲女性中，急迫性尿失禁的总体患病率为11.4%。大多数人（75.4%）对这种情况没有明显的困扰。只有21.1%的人寻求治疗。研究发现，年龄较大、多胎、阳性家族史、居住在农村地区以及使用坐式厕所与OAB的发生率较高有关。研究表明，亚洲女性的膀胱过度活动非常重要，值得密切关注。它还强调了患者寻求治疗的比例很低。这是医学文献中关于亚洲人膀胱过动症流行病学的第一篇报道。
A questionnaire-based survey was performed in 5502 females from 11 countries in Asia to establish the prevalence overactive bladder (OAB) and identify the factors related to the occurrence of the condition. The overall prevalence of OAB was 53.1%. The most common presenting symptom was urgency (65.4%). Twenty-one per cent of the OAB population presented with incontinence, giving an overall prevalence of 11.4% for urge incontinence among Asian females. The majority (75.4%) were not significantly bothered by the condition. Only 21.1% sought treatment. Older age, multiparity, a positive family history, residence in a rural area and the use of a sitting type of toilet were found to be associated with a greater occurrence of OAB. The study has shown that overactive bladder in Asian females is significant and warrants closer attention. It has also highlighted the low treatment-seeking rate among its sufferers. This is the first report on the epidemiology of overactive bladder among Asians in the medical literature.
