ABSTRACT
Data regarding prevalence in Australia have been available since a study in Sydney in 1983 ( 3 , 4 ). No systematic study of general prevalence has been conducted since that time. However, the longitudinal Women’s Health Australia study, involving over 40,000 women (5) , has provided new data on prevalence in women (6) and may yield further data on the incidence of incontinence over the next 10 to 20 years as the cohorts age.
