Associations between metabolic score for visceral fat and urinary incontinence among US adult women: a population-based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to elucidate the association between metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) and urinary incontinence (UI) prevalence among adult women in the US.

Methods

Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2007-2016), the study conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 4,190 adult women aged ≥ 20 years. The investigation evaluated the relationship between METS-VF and the prevalence and severity of three types of UI: stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). Weighted multivariable logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were employed to assess these associations. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were performed to explore poten
