  • Title: Incontinence and the older woman.
    Author: Houston KA.
    Journal: Clin Geriatr Med; 1993 Feb; 9(1):157-71. PubMed ID: 8095175.
    Abstract:
    A vital message to convey to health care providers and to women who struggle with urinary incontinence is that female urinary problems may be significantly improved, reversed, or prevented by judicious application of current technologies. Control of female incontinence is particularly important in light of the aging trend and the need to prevent excess disability; therefore, any way in which women can be assisted in maintaining physical functioning, including voluntary control of urination, is important to avoid the dire physical and psychosocial consequences that accompany incontinence.
