We have made a questionnaire survey on an enuresis rate among old males living in Vilnus. Using questionnaires on enuresis, MMSE-30 test and GDS-15, we have examined a random sample of 294 males aged 75 to 95 years and older from January 2003 to December 2004. Enuresis was diagnosed in 26.5% of them. In age groups 75-79, 80-84, 85-89, 90-94, 95 years and older enuresis symptoms occurred in 32.8, 24.0, 12.2, 36.4, 9.1% males, respectively. Only 58.4% males with enuresis sought medical advice. Most of the patients suffered from enuresis for 1 to 5 years. The type of incontinence was stated according to international criteria of ICS (2002). The incontinence was urgent in 66.2% and stress in 3.9%. Only 13.0% males used hygienic protectors. The following risk factors were revealed: intake of alpha-adrenoblockers (OR = 3.89, 95% CI = 1.98-7.67), depression (OR = 2.51, 95% CI = 1.13-5.55). The risk to develop continuous incontinence grows in the presence of Parkinson's disease (OR = 3.50; 95% CI = 1.01-12.23), prostatic adenoma (OR = 5.29; 95% CL = 2.91-9.65). The responders believe that their incontinence is due to combination of factors: 2-3 factors were pointed by 36.4%, 4-5 factors--20.8%, 6 and more--by 22.0%.
