The Relationship between Overweight and Overactive Bladder Symptoms.

Background: Several authors have investigated the relationship between obesity - assessed only by body mass index (BMI) - and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body fat percentage (BFP) and the severity of OAB symptoms with an impact on quality of life.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Effect of an exercise programme for reducing abdominal fat on overactive bladder symptoms in young overweight women.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The effect of exercise in relation to overweight and overactive bladder (OAB) in young women has not been sufficiently supported by studies. The objective of our study was to reduce symptoms of OAB through a 3-month exercise programme in young overweight women with OAB. The sample consisted of 70 women (mean age 26.

The impact of different intensities of exercise on body weight reduction and overactive bladder symptoms- randomised trial.

Objectives: to investigate the effect of a 3-month exercise programme with two different intensities on the reduction of body weight and body fat percentage in overweight women with overactive bladder symptoms (OAB).

Study Design: randomised controlled study. The sample consisted of 77 overweight women with OAB symptoms, with an average age of 26.

Comparison of body composition and overactive bladder symptoms in overweight female university students.

Objectives: To compare body composition in young overweight women with OAB compared to women without OAB, and to determine the severity of the symptoms of OAB, as well as to investigate the impact of OAB on quality of life.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 1932 enrolled women classed as overweight (BMI:25-29.

Prevalence and risk of sport types to stress urinary incontinence in sportswomen: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: The objective of our study was to investigate the prevalence and risk of developing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in each type of high-intensity sport, and the associated impact on quality of life in sportswomen.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between March and November 2016. The study included 278 sportswomen.

Prevalence of Urinary Incontinence in Females Performing High-Impact Exercises.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to monitor the prevalence of symptoms of stress (SUI) and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) in sportswomen performing high-impact exercises. A further objective was to compare the symptoms of urinary incontinence (UI) and quality of life in sportswomen. We used the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ-SF), the Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q), the Urinary Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QOL) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), short version.
