About

Urinary incontinence in the elderly and health-related quality of life due to urinary incontinence is a common problem in nursing homes. Another problem that occurs in elderly individuals is swallowing disorder. Swallowing disorders that occur with aging are called presbyphagia. Additional health problems such as impaired fluid intake balance, fetal incontinence and sarcopenia may occur after presbyphagia. However, the effect of presbyphagia on urinary incontinence is not known. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of presbyphagia on urinary incontinence and quality of life in healthy elderly individuals living in a nursing home.

Enrollment: 73 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 65 to 95 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Individuals who have been living in the nursing home for at least 1 year and volunteer to participate in the study
• a mini metal test score of 24 and above

Exclusion criteria

• Those who cannot provide information on urinary function and quality of life,
• Those with a history of disease and surgery with mechanisms directly related to swallowing and urinary incontinence,
• Those with a mini mental test score of 23 or less were excluded

Trial design

73 participants in 2 patient groups

Presbyphagia Group

Description:

This is a group of elderly people with swallowing disorders. Urinary incontinence and quality of life will be evaluated diagnostically.

Non-Presbyphagia Group
