SUI risk in white women tripple that in blacks.(Gynecology)
SAN DIEGO -- White women aged 40-69 years have a nearly threefold greater risk of stress urinary incontinence, compared with blacks in the same age group, according to a large population study.
"These results suggest that there are additional exposures or physiologic factors that put white women at a substantially greater risk for stress incontinence," Dr. David H. Thom said at the joint annual meeting of the American Urogynecologic Society and the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.
"Several studies have found lower prevalence of urinary incontinence among black women, compared with white women. But most studies have been limited by use of selected populations such as referral from centers, by lack of adjustment for known suspected risk factors for incontinence, or by lack of comparison by type of incontinence.
