| Abstract |
Large-scale population-based surveys published in the past decade give new insights regarding risk factors for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. Age plays a significant role in the development of all forms of urinary incontinence, but findings regarding the role of hormonal changes are inconsistent. Obesity is an increasingly prevalent health condition that was shown to have detrimental impact on SUI development, while weight reduction was proven to reduce SUI. Other modifiable risk factors, such as diabetes, also are related to SUI. Pregnancy, delivery, and pelvic floor surgery are risk factors discussed in the review. Recent genetic studies identified several genes encoding components of the extracellular matrix, which could be related to a predisposition to SUI. Identifying risk factors for SUI can facilitate prevention strategies in an aim to reduce SUI prevalence among women. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 October 2011.
All research outputs
#21,864,686
of 24,397,600 outputs
Outputs from Current Urology Reports
#587
of 618 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#123,739
of 134,061 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Urology Reports
#6
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,397,600 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 618 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 134,061 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
