Abstract

The study was conducted by the authors to investigate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), physical activity, and quality of life (QoL) in obese and overweight women. LUTS were assessed using Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (CLSS) and Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-V8 (OAB-V8), QoL using World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale - Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF), and physical activity with International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). CLSS and OAB-V8 scores were significantly higher in overweight and obese compared to those of normal weight (p < .001), while UFAA scores were lower in obese (p = .031). Body mass index was associated with higher CLSS and OAB-V8 scores and lower IPAQ-SF and WHOQOL-BREF Physical and Psychological subscores. Additionally, concordance between CLSS and OAB-V8 scores was highest in obese. A significant association between LUTS, physical activity, and QoL was found in overweight and obese women. With our results, we emphasized the need for interventions as increased BMI is linked to more prevalent LUTS and decreased well-being.

超重和肥胖妇女下尿路症状、身体活动和生活质量之间关系的调查

这项研究是由作者进行的，旨在调查肥胖和超重女性的下尿路症状（LUTS）、身体活动和生活质量（QoL）。LUTS采用核心下尿路症状评分（CLSS）和膀胱过度活动量表- v8 （OAB-V8）评估，生活质量采用世界卫生组织生活质量量表-短表（WHOQOL-BREF）评估，身体活动采用国际身体活动问卷-短表（IPAQ-SF）评估。超重和肥胖组的CLSS和OAB-V8评分明显高于正常体重组（p p = 0.031）。体重指数与较高的CLSS和OAB-V8评分以及较低的IPAQ-SF和WHOQOL-BREF生理和心理评分相关。此外，肥胖患者的CLSS和OAB-V8评分的一致性最高。在超重和肥胖女性中发现LUTS、身体活动和生活质量之间存在显著关联。根据我们的研究结果，我们强调了干预的必要性，因为BMI增加与更普遍的LUTS和幸福感下降有关。
