- One million individuals in England and Wales face sexual violence annually, with only about 30,000 accessing supportive services through sexual assault referral centres.* -

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores whether depression and anxiety lead to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in middle-aged women, and whether these symptoms later contribute to depression.
- - Based on data from the Avon Longitudinal Study, findings show that depression is linked to various types of urinary incontinence and urgency, while anxiety is only associated with nightly urination (nocturia).
- - The results indicate a complex relationship where mental health issues could influence LUTS, and vice versa, suggesting a need for further research to understand these connections better.
