Abstract
Introduction: Older adults admitted to nursing homes (NHs) are at risk for dual incontinence (urinary and fecal incontinence; DI). Minority residents may be disadvantaged for DI and its treatment because of their racial or ethnic group identity.
Materials and methods: This study assessed if there were racial/ethnic disparities in time to DI and in its treatment in a cohort of NH residents age ≥ 65 years (N = 39,181) who were free of DI at the time of NH admission. Individual, NH, and community level predictors of time to DI and its treatment (any and behavioral treatment) from three national surveys were modeled. Disparities were analyzed in four racial/ethnic groups using the Peters-Belson method.
