| Abstract: | (CIT): Fecal and urinary incontinence the inability to control bowel movements or urination, respectively are conditions with ramifications that extend well beyond their physical manifestations. Fecal incontinence is a serious and embarrassing problem that affects up to 5 percent of the general population and up to 39 percent of nursing home residents. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the Office of Medical Applications of Research (OMAR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will convene a State-of-the-Science Conference from December 10 to 12, 2007, to assess the available scientific evidence relevant to the following questions: What are the prevalence, incidence, and natural history of fecal and urinary incontinence in the community and long-term care settings? What is the burden of illness and impact of fecal and urinary incontinence on the individual and society? What are the risk factors for fecal and urinary incontinence? What can be done to prevent fecal and urinary incontinence? What are the strategies to improve the identification of persons at risk and patients who have fecal and urinary incontinence? What are the research priorities in reducing the burden of illness in these conditions? |
