ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the association of urinary incontinence with depressive symptoms, and to explore the mediating effect of functional limitations on this association.METHODS:
This cross-sectional study included 7039 adults aged 50 and over from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (Wave 8). Urinary incontinence was defined as whether the participants experienced urinary incontinence in the past 12 months. Depressive symptoms were assessed based on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale. Functional limitations included disability of activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, mobility and large muscle groups limitation of the participants. Logistic regression based on Karlson/Holm/Breen (KHB) method was applied to estimate the association of urinary incontinence with depressive symptoms and explore the mediating effect of functional limitations.RESULTS:
Urinary incontinence was significantly associated with increased risk of depressive symptoms after controlling covariates (odds ratio = 1.75, 95 % confidence interval 1.45-2.11). Functional limitations explained 36.96 % of this association.CONCLUSION:
Urinary incontinence might be associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older adults and functional limitations partially mediate this association. Improving physically functional capacity might play an important role in preventing and managing depressive symptoms in elderly people with urinary incontinence.Mots clés
