Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the present study was to examine spinal alignment in older Asian women with or without pelvic floor disorder, and to determine the factors affecting pelvic floor disorder. In conclusion, trunk muscle mass and thoracic kyphosis angle affected stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and subjective SUI severity in community-dwelling older women. Focusing on trunk muscle mass and spinal alignment may be useful for assessing older women with SUI.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の結果より、高齢女性における腹圧性尿失禁には体幹筋肉量、及び胸椎後弯角が影響を及ぼすことが明らかとなり、高齢女性における腹圧性尿失禁の評価を行う際には、体幹の筋や脊柱アライメントに着目することが有用である可能性が示唆された。本研究の結果は、骨盤底機能障害の症状改善およびQOLの向上を目的とした新たな介入プログラム作成のための基礎的資料を提供するものであると考える。
