Prevalence and risk factors of stress urinary incontinence in a 2023 Japanese community health survey - differences between males and females.
Article in BJUI compass, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the present epidemiological study was to evaluate the sex-related prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and the associated factors using data from the 2023 Japan Community Health Survey. Methods: We investigated 3097 males and 3056 females aged 20-99 years. All participants answered web-based questionnaires on their health status and lower urinary tract symptoms. Data on the frequency of SUI, comorbidities and health-related behaviour were extracted. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to evaluate the trend between the prevalence of SUI and age. Multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with SUI. Results: SUI was consistently observed in about 10% of individuals in their 20s and 30s, including in males. There were no age-related differences in the prevalence of SUI in males (P = 0.55). In females, the prevalence of SUI statistically significantly increased with age (P < 0.0001). The frequency of SUI was, however, low in both sexes. Drinking habits (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.10-1.87) and frequent spicy food intake (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.19-2.01) were associated with SUI only in males. Age (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.13-1.62), BMI (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.50-2.32) and history of vaginal delivery (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.77-2.63) were only associated with SUI in females. Conclusions: Although the frequency of SUI was low in both sexes, the correlation between the prevalence of SUI and age was different between both sexes. Female SUI might involve weakness of the pelvic floor muscle, while male SUI might be affected by health-related behaviours.
