ABSTRACT

The world is undergoing an accelerated demographic transition, with an increase in the geriatric population, and a corresponding increase in the prevalence of geriatric syndromes such as urinary incontinence. This article presents a general context and a practical algorithm for approaching urinary incontinence in the geriatric patient, which facilitates the classification of the different types of incontinence, and also provides criteria for referring patients from primary care to other specialties. This updated and synthesized document, based on the evidence and practice of experts in the various medical specialties involved, is a valuable tool to improve the understanding, and clinical approach of professionals caring for adults over 60 years, with urinary incontinence, especially in primary care.
