What is Associations Between Bacterial Vaginosis and Urgency Urinary Incontinence in Women: An Analysis of Nhanes 2001 to 2004 about?

## Objective: To investigate the relationship between bacterial vaginosis (bv) and urinary incontinence (ui) in american women. ## Materials and methods: Data from the national health and nutrition examination survey (nhanes) from 2001 to 2004 were merged. self-collected vaginal swabs were used to assess bv. urinary incontinence was determined by self-report. multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between bv and ui in american women, controlling for potential confounders. ## Results: Overall, 31.3% of female respondents tested positive for bacterial vaginosis. women with bacterial vaginosis were more likely to report stress urinary incontinence (sui) (22.78% vs 17.79%), urgency urinary incontinence (uui) (12.86% vs 7.26%) and mixed urinary incontinence (mui) (7.35% vs 4.42%) than women without bacterial vaginosis. in the adjusted analysis, women with bacterial vaginosis had 1.47 times greater odds of urgency urinary incontinence (or 1.47, 95% ci 1.07-2.17, p = .0160), and bacterial vaginosis did not increase the odds of stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence in women. ## Conclusion: After controlling for known risk factors,
