The Urinary Incontinence Treatment Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Urinary Incontinence, Sarcopenia

In brief

Investigators plan a prospective cohort study with an adaptive design based on physical function status. The design will involve tracking the number of women recruited with physical function impairment and those without any functional impairment. Investigators aim to recruit similar numbers of women in each group. If investigators find unequal numbers, they will adapt recruit strategies based on a woman's functional status.
