Association between imaging-derived fat distribution and stress urinary incontinence: a cross-sectional study in US adult women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the relationship between android-to-gynoid fat ratio (A/G ratio) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in US adult women.

Methods

The study employed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, encompassing the 2005-2006 and 2011-2018 cycles. We utilized multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models to examine the independent effect of the A/G ratio on SUI. Additionally, refined subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the impact of effect modifiers, along with sophisticated smooth curve fitting methods to delve into the potential non-linear relationship between the A/G ratio and SUI.

Results

Of the 6779 women participants with an average age of 40.812, 2565 (37.8%) self-reported SUI. A non-linear rel
