Abstract

Obesity is a disease characterized by the accumulation of excessive fat that causes health damage. As a result of obesity, there are urinary incontinence and the quality of life deficit. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of obesity and anthropometric parameters on urinary incontinence and quality of life. This is a cross-sectional study carried out at the Hospital de Clí­nicas and the Surgery Department of the University of Campinas, with the patients with degrees II and III. The following variables were measured: weight, height, BMI and waist circumference, which made it possible to determine the fat percentage through the Fat Prediction Equation for Obese Subjects. In addition to urinary incontinence through ICIQ-SF and quality of life through the WHOQOL-BREF. Fifteen patients were evaluated and significant positive correlations were found between urinary urgency and weight; urinary urgency and BMI; urinary urgency and mean abdominal circumference; and urinary urgency and percentage of fat. And, also, significant negative correlations between domains of quality of life and weight; domains of quality of life and BMI; domains of quality of life and abdominal circumferences; and domains of quality of life and percentage of fat. Anthropometric variables related to obesity presented statistically significant associations with impact on urinary continence and quality of life.
