Losing weight significantly reduces urinary incontinence for women, according to researchers. US researchers assigned 338 overweight and obese women with frequent incontinence randomly to an intensive six-month weight-loss programme including diet, exercise and behaviour modification, or to a control programme consisting of education on weight loss, exercise, and healthy eating. At six months, the intervention group had lost a significantly greater percentage of weight than the control group. In addition, the intervention participants saw a greater drop in average weekly incontinence episodes than the control group. The authors conclude that a decrease in urinary incontinence may be another benefit among the extensive health improvements associated with moderate weight reduction.
