Is there increased incidence of incontinence in athletes?
['Urinary incontinence affects women of all ages, including top female athletes, but is often under-reported. The highest prevalence of urinary incontinence is reported in those participating in high impact sports.', 'The prevalence of female stress urinary incontinence is high, and young adults are also affected, including athletes, especially those involved in "high-impact" sports', 'Analysis of these data suggests that perineal pressure is decreased in female athletes compared with nonathlete women. A lower perineal pressure correlates with increased symptoms of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction.', 'Urinary incontinence is a prevalent condition among athletes that is not openly discussed.', 'High-level sport appears to be a significant independent risk factor for AI in healthy young women. ', 'The prevalence of LUTS was 54.7%, and 30% for urinary incontinence.', 'LUTS and incontinence are prevalent in female athletes.', 'A relationship between sport or fitness activities and urinary incontinence (UI) previously has been described in women. ', 'studies have also shown a high prevalence of SUI in young, physically fit female athletes. ', 'There was urinary incontinence in female long-distance runners and a correlation with eating disorders.', 'young female athletes participating in high-impact sports may be at higher risk for urinary incontinence.', 'Results indicated that more than 25% of those completing surveys experienced incontinence and that more than 90% had never told anyone about their problem and had no knowledge of preventive measures; 16% reported incontinence negatively impacted their quality of life.', 'There is a very high prevalence of urinary incontinence in women athletes.', 'Women athletes should be counseled about the increased risk of urinary incontinence with ultra high-impact sports and eating disorders.', "Stress urinary incontinence is a barrier to women's participation in sport and fitness activities and, therefore, it may be a threat to women's health, self-esteem and well-being. The prevalence during sports among young, nulliparous elite athletes varies between 0% (golf) and 80% (trampolinists). The highest prevalence is found in sports involving high impact activities such as gymnastics, track and field, and some ball games", 'Urinary leakage is common among elite athletes and dancers, particularly during training, but also during daily life activities.', 'There is a high prevalence of stress and urge incontinence in female elite athletes. The frequency of SUI and urge incontinence was significantly higher in eating disordered athletes compared with healthy athletes.', 'High impact sports activities may produce urinary incontinence.', 'Urinary incontinence during physical stresses is common in young nulliparous wome', 'Incontinence during physical stresses is common in young, highly fit, nulliparous women.']
