Popis: Aims To study the effects of age and 24-h volume (V24) on bladder diary measurements of voiding frequency (F24) and functional bladder capacity (FBC) from an asymptomatic female population. Also, to use these data to develop clinical reference values. (We use FBC as a generic term for bladder diary volume-per-void measurements.) Materials and Methods Computer-processed 3-day bladder diaries were collected from 161 females (median age: 46.6 years; range = 19.6–81.8 years) claiming no urological symptoms, previous pelvic surgery and diseases and medications effecting urologic function. Regression analysis was used to investigate relationships among age, FBC and V24. Results Both FBC and F24 increase as V24 increases (P
