235 women with more than 18 years old were
analyzed to evaluate the prevalence of urinary
incontinence and risk factors for developing this
pathology.
The patients were evaluated by the questionnaire
about their urinary symptoms and risk factors as age,
parity, menstrual status and body mass index (BMI) were
analyzed. For this analysis the patients were divided in
two groups- with stress urinary incontinence group (UIG)
and without urinary incontinence (CG).
The main economic activity is the fishing Açaí
extraction. The patients are submitted normally to vaginal
delivery. The connection among the houses is by the
bridges of wood.
Written informed consent was obtained from the
patients and the study was approved by Ethics
Committee.
The statistical analysis were performed by BioEstat
5.3 version software.
Results
The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was
28.9% (CI- 23.1%- 34.7%). The analysis of the age, BMI
and parity showed that there was significant difference
between the groups.
The other variables as vaginal or cesarean delivery,

U2 Tomei a liberdade de
modificar aquela tabela
que tinha as variáveis
analisadas em um
gráfico, pois acho que
fica visualmente mais
atraente para o pôster
e poderíamos
condensar as
informações, bem
como estabelecer
adequadamente o que
foi analisado e as
unidades em que
encontram-se os
números. Caso prefira
a tabela mesmo, pode
modificar
