Prevalence of urinary incontinence among women and analysis of potential risk factors in Germany and Denmark.

Prevalence rates from earlier studies are wide-ranging, due to heterogeneity in methodology, definition of UI and the populations included. We aimed to determine the prevalence of UI and associated risk factors in Germany and Denmark using the same methodology, definition and population.
