Prevalence of pelvic floor disorders and the associated quality of life among institutionalized and noninstitutionalized elderly women: A cross-sectional study.

Background: An increase in life expectancy has led to an increased elderly population. In turn, this aging population is more likely to develop health conditions, such as pelvic floor disorders (PFDs).
