Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to estimate the prevalence and assess the impact of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) on the quality of life of incarcerated women.
Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with 307 incarcerated women from the state of Ceará, Brazil, from June to September 2018. To identify the prevalence of symptoms, an instrument was developed according to the recommendations of the International Continence Society.
Aims: To analyze the psychometric properties of instruments measure knowledge and/or attitude and/or practice related to urinary incontinence (UI).
Methods: This review was conducted in September 2018 without restrictions regarding language and year of publication.
Data Sources: MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Cochrane, LILACS, and Google.
Aim: To investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and impact of pelvic floor dysfunctions in female nurses.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Although lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) have considerable clinical relevance, few propose evaluating its association with social conditions. Our study aimed to evaluate LUTS prevalence in primary care and its association with the social determinants of health (SDH).
