This study was conducted to identify the factors influencing health-related quality of life of urinary incontinent elderly women. The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) was used as baseline data to evaluate how activity limitation, depression experience and subjective health perception influence the health-related quality of life of urinary incontinent elderly women. The urinary incontinent elderly women differed significantly in terms of activity limitation, depression experience, subjective health perception influence and health-related quality of life compared to elderly women without incontinence. In contrast, income and education were not correlated with either of the aforementioned groups. The subjective health perception was identified as the only factor influencing the health-related quality of life of urinary incontinent elderly women. The results of this study will serve as basic data for positive treatment promotion and development of assessment programs for incontinence patients who recognize incontinence symptoms as part of the aging process and are therefore unwilling to receive care.

골반근육은 방광아래와 직장, 질, 자궁 등을 지탱해준다. 골반 근육이 수축하면 소변과 대변이 새지 않게 되는 것이다. 그러나 여성들은 분만하거나 나이가 들어 근육이 약해지고 처지게 되면 기침을 하거나 뛸때 소변이 새는 요실금을 경험하게 된다.

Objective: The purposes of this study were to investigate anxiety and depression that can mediate stress and elicit a response from the women with urinary incontinence and compare the anxiety and depression level before and after treatment of extracoporeal magnetic innervation. Method: Fifty-five women with urinary incontinence were included from a obstetrics and gynecology cilnic. Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) were administered before and after treatment of extracoporeal magnetic innervation. Results: The women with urinary incontinence had higher levels of anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression were reduced after treatment of extracoporeal magnetic innervation regardless of improvement incontinence. Conclusion: Therapies including extracoporeal magnetic innervation may be intrumental in improving anxiety and depression, If the patient do not show improvements of anxiety and depression after treatment for their urologic disorder or if the therapy is unsuccessful, appropriate referral is indicated.

겨울철에 왜 요실금이 심해질까? 여름에는 체내 수분의 상당량이 땀으로 배출되지만, 겨울에는 체내 수분이 땀보다 오줌으로 배출돼 요실금 발생 빈도가 높아지는 편. 또 겨울에는 기온차로 인해 기침이나 재채기를 자주 하면서 탄력성을 잃은 골반근육과 방광근육이 자극을 받아 요실금이 발생하기도 한다.

The objective of this survey was to understand the effect of the subjective degree and pain of urinary incontinence on the quality of life of the middle-aged women with the subjective symptom of urinary incontinence. A questionnaire was carried out to investigate the quality of life in relation to urinary incontinence for 114 patients of chronic musculoskeletal system from Feb. to May in 2010. Overall, the subjects responded that their quality of life was medium(($61.36{\pm}13.2$score) and the pain related to urinary incontinence was low back pain. The degree of pain was between the moderate and a little severe in the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) range of 4 to 7. It was also shown that the action of the subjects was affected by urinary incontinence in forms of avoidance limitation and psycosocial effect. Since the survey showed that the urinary incontinence and pain substantially affect the quality of life of the middle-aged women, the result may provide basic information in developing a practical intervention program.

This study aimed to investigate factors affecting frailty by urinary incontinence groups among the vulnerable elderly woman in Korea. In this secondary analysis, data were collected from records for 3,251 elders registered in the Visiting Health Management program of Public Health Centers in 2012. body mass index, waist circumference, timed up & go, depression, self rated helath, walking exercise, flexibility exercise, strengh exercise and frailty were assessed. Data were analyzed using $x^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and stepwise regression to determine the associated factors of frailty by urinary incontinence. Depression, walking exercise, timed up & go and age were found to be factors significantly associated with frailty among the elders with incontinence(F=38.321, p<.001). Age, depression, walking exercise, self rated health and tined up & go were found to be factors associated with frailty in the elders without incontinence(F=265.666 p<.001). The findings show that frailty of elders and associated factors were different by urinary incontinence, and common factors affecting frailty were depression, walking exercise, timed up & go, age. Thus, these factors should be considered in the development of intervention program for care and prevention of frailty and program should be modified according to urinary incontinence.

외출도 맘 편하게 할 수 없고, 누가 알아챌까 불안하고, 행여나 큰 병은 아닐까 걱정도 되지만 누군가에게 속 시원하게 말할 수도 없는 노릇이다. 소변이 찔끔찔끔 새는 요실금을 앓고 있는 중년들이 딱 이러하다. 요실금은 중년 여성들에게서 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있으나 남성들에게도 많이 발생하는 질병이다. 중년의 자존심에 상처를 입히는 요실금의 원인은 무엇인지, 예방법은 무엇인지 알아본다.

Objectives: This investigation was carried out to understand the status of the urinary incontinence (UI) and overactive bladder (OABs) syndrome of women in a rural region. Methods: The authors conducted a questionnaire survey among the 322 females who voluntarily participated in a health examination, from 16 to 18 August 2001. Using by definition of UI and OABs, we calculated the proportion of UI, OABs I, and OABs II. The data collected was evaluated using the SPSS 12.0 statistical package, and the differences of symptoms and problems related to daily life between UI, OABs patients and the others were analyzed using a Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Results: The overall proportion of UI was 35.4%, and stress UI (32.9%) is more common than urgency UI (17.4%) and mixed UI (14.9%). The proportion of OABs I and OABs II were respectively 36.0%, 14.0%. Symptoms related to UI or OABs were nocturia (35.1%), frequency (23.9%), urgency (21.4%) etc. Of the incontinence cases, 27.2% had experienced UI for a period of one to three years. The proportion of OABs increased significantly by age (p<0.05), UI didn't. The most frequent symptoms in UI and OABs were respectively 'slow stream', 'urgency'. The most frequent problem of daily life in UI and OABs was 'seeking toilet firstly at stranger place'. Conclusions: The proportion of UI and OABs in our study were respectively 35.4%, 14.0%. UI and OABs must be very significant health problems in women, especially rural region. Systemic and profound interventions for UI and OABs need to administer to women in Korea.
