Symptoms of pelvic floor disorders and physical fitness: A comparison between active and sedentary older women - a cross-sectional study.

The study aimed to compare symptoms of pelvic floor disorders (PFD) and physical fitness (PF) between active and sedentary older women and to verify the correlation between PF and PFD. PFD was determined using the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20), with the highest score indicating the greatest distress. PF was evaluated by measuring lower limb strength and endurance, agility, mobility, dynamic balance and physical mobility.
