Incontinence is the inability to control excretory function leading to urinary or fecal incontinence respectively. Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent condition in older adults and often they do not seek help from health care providers. Clinicians should screen for continence issues at each health encounter. A thorough assessment should take place when UI or other lower urinary tract symptoms are detected. Elements of a symptom-based assessment include a medical history, physical examination and assessment of cognitive and functional abilities. (1)
