Lifestyle and Behavioural Interventions for Urinary Incontinence in Frail Older Adults: Review of Recent Evidence

In this episode, host Gisela Assis (Nurse, Brazil) is joined by Kristine Talley (Nurse, United States) and Janie Thompson (Nurse, Australia) to discuss a recent review of evidence into lifestyle and behavioral interventions for urinary incontinence in frail older adults. It is based on an article in the Continence journal Volume 13 2025. New research, clinical guidelines or clinical trials were considered since the 7th International Consultation on Incontinence (ICI). It was found that the evidence remains limited in this population group despite the significant impact of urinary incontinence on the frail older adults: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772973725000062 

 Together, the panel explores the current state of evidence in this important area, highlighting that, despite the significant impact of urinary incontinence on frail older adults, evidence for effective interventions in this population remains limited. The discussion also reflects on implications for clinical practice and future research priorities.
