초록

The purpose of this research was to study the correlationship among health-related physical fitness, metabolic syndrome markers and urinary incontinence(UI), and to analyze predictive values affect UI on middle-aged postmenopausal women with stress incontinence. The subjects for this research were 51 middle-aged postmenopausal women between 45 and 64 with urinary incontinence. The results of Pearson’s correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were as follows: It had negative correlation that maximum vaginal contraction pressure(MVCP), and average vaginal contraction pressure(AVCP) with diastolic blood pressure(DBP)(p<.05), maximum vaginal contraction duration(MVCD) and systolic blood pressure(SBP)(p<.05), MVCD and DBP(p<.01), SBP and muscle endurance, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C) and body mass index(BMI)(p<.05), %fat and AVCP(p<.05). On the other hands, there had positive relationships that waist circumference(WC) with fat free mass(FFM), Body fat percentage(%fat), and BMI(p<.01), glucose with %fat, and BMI(p<.05), MVCP and AVCP with FFM(p<.05), muscle endurance(p<.01), flexibility(p<.05). Also, This research had been identified as an independent predictive factor muscular strength(p<.01) and DBP(p<.01) for MVCP and AVCP, SBP(p<.001), WC(p<.01) and FFM(p<.05) for MVCD. In conclusion, this research shows correlation of health-related physical fitness, metabolic syndrome markers and UI and also that improvement in health-related physical fitness and metabolic syndrome is expected to contribute to symptoms and prevent recurrence of UI.
