Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is common among women, but its link with A Body Shape Index (ABSI) is not well understood. This study investigates the association between ABSI and SUI risk in women, exploring variations across different subgroups.
Methods: Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001-2020) were analyzed. A weighted multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine the relationship between ABSI and SUI risk, calculating odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was used to assess any nonlinear associations. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were conducted to explore the influence of factors on the ABSI-SUI relationship. Sensitivity analyses were also performed to ensure the robustness of the findings.
Results: The analysis, after adjusting for potential confounders, showed a significant association between ABSI and SUI risk (p < 0.001). The RCS analysis indicated a nonlinear relationship (p for nonlinear = 0.02) with a turning point at an ABSI of 0.081. Subgroup analyses revealed that the association between ABSI and SUI was stronger in women with lower BMI, non-Mexican ethnicity, and those without hypertension (p for interaction < 0.05). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the consistency of these findings, supporting their robustness.
Conclusion: Higher ABSI is associated with an increased risk of SUI in US women, particularly in specific subgroups. This suggests that ABSI could be a valuable measure for identifying women at higher risk of SUI.
期刊介绍:
The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
