Summary
This study followed 70 women aged 70 and older with urinary incontinence to see how muscle loss (sarcopenia) and physical function affect the results of pelvic floor exercises. Researchers tracked incontinence episodes and muscle strength over 12 weeks. The goal is to better tailor non-surgical treatments for older women based on their physical abilities.
