Popis: Obesity is a well-known risk factor for lower urinary tract disorders. Lifestyle plays an essential role in the etiology of the symptoms, negatively affecting self-esteem and quality of social, professional, and sexual life.To assess the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms and urodynamic patterns in obese women and to compare to nonobese volunteers.Overactive bladder (OAB) questionaries (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire [ICIQ]-OAB) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) (ICIQ-short form) were applied to the participants. They underwent a physical exam and urodynamics except for the control group.A total of 109 women completed the protocol and 20 were in the control group. The average age was 43.0 years, and the average body mass index was 45.12 ± 7.64 kg/mAmong obese women, either the prevalence of SUI or OAB is significantly higher than the nonobese female population. Regarding UDS, the pattern is similar to the clinic diagnostic. The grade of obesity is directly associated with an impairment of the patient's cystometric capacity.
