Abstract
The understanding of epidemiology - the study of the distribution and determinants of disease - is critical in the search for the risk and protective factors that lead to primary or secondary disease prevention.This chapter reviews some of the knowledge of the epidemiology of urinary incontinence (UI). The review uses only a fraction of the high-quality, population-based studies available. More comprehensive reviews have been published (Hampel et al. 1997; Thom 1998; Hunskaar et al. 2000, 2002).
