Prevalence, risk factors, and impact on health related quality of life of overactive bladder in China

Abstract

The prevalence of OAB in China is lower than that of most previous reports. Many known risk factors are associated with OAB. The symptoms of OAB have a detrimental effect on HRQoL. Efforts need to be made to improve public and professional education about the problems of OAB and decrease the unnecessary burden of this condition.
