BackgroundEndoanal MRI and MR defecography are used to identify anal sphincter injury and disordered defecation. However, few studies have evaluated findings in asymptomatic healthy people. The effects of BMI and parity on rectoanal motion and evacuation are unknown.MethodsIn 113 asymptomatic females (age 5017years, MeanSD) without risk factors for anorectal trauma, anal sphincter appearance, anorectal motion, and pelvic organ prolapse were evaluated with MRI. The relationship between age, BMI, and parity and structural findings were evaluated with parametric and non-parametric tests.ResultsThe anal sphincters and puborectalis appeared normal in over 90% of women. During dynamic MRI, the anorectal angle was 100 +/- 1o (Mean +/- SEM) at rest, 70 +/- 2 degrees at squeeze, and 120 +/- 2 degrees during defecation. The change in anorectal angle during squeeze (r=-.25, P
