Importance: Women who identify as Black or African American are underrepresented in research about pelvic floor disorders.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to describe the prevalence of and factors associated with urinary incontinence (UI) and UI care-seeking among adult women in a Wisconsin household survey.
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional analysis of data collected by the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW).
Objective: Body mass index (BMI) trajectories are associated with night-time sleep, but it is not clear how they relate to daytime sleepiness in population data. This study aimed to examine longitudinal associations between levels and changes in daytime sleepiness and BMI trajectories among men and women.
Methods: We estimated growth curve models among 827 participants in the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study (mean [sd] age = 55.
Article Synopsis
- Longitudinal studies are crucial for understanding how various social and institutional factors influence health disparities related to COVID-19, especially regarding participant attrition in research due to unequal impacts of the pandemic.
- The SHOW COVID-19 study surveyed adults from the Wisconsin cohort using online and phone interviews at different times, focusing on social and health-related experiences during the pandemic.
- Results showed that participants differed significantly based on their survey mode, with online respondents being generally more educated and white, while phone respondents were more diverse and faced various health insecurities, highlighting the importance of diverse research methods for accurate representation.
Background And Objectives: Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is a CNS disorder of hypersomnolence of unknown etiology. Due to the requirement for objective sleep testing to diagnose the disorder, there are currently no population-based estimates of the prevalence of IH nor data regarding the longitudinal course of IH in naturalistic settings.
Methods: Subjective and objective data from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort study were used to identify cases with probable IH from participants with polysomnography and multiple sleep latency test data.
