  • Title: Urinary incontinence. Treating the elderly.
    Author: Whishaw M.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 1989 Aug; 18(8):921-2, 924-6, 928. PubMed ID: 2673168.
    Abstract:
    Urinary incontinence in the elderly is common. Up to 10 per cent of men and 15 per cent of women over 65 are incontinent. This rises to 30 per cent in acute care hospitals and 50 per cent in nursing homes. In many it is the cause of institutionalisation. It continues to be an 'iceberg' condition, with as few as 20 per cent of sufferers being known to health care professionals.
