Overactive Bladder Independently Linked to Higher Risk of Recent Falls in Adults 20-69
Observational data links OAB to higher recent-fall risk in adults 20-69, independent of other variables.
According to a study published online March 19 in the peer-reviewed journal Neurourology and Urodynamics, overactive bladder (OAB) is independently associated with increased risk of a recent fall among adults aged 20 to 69. This is an observational study showing a statistical link that holds after adjusting for other factors; it is not an RCT, and neither sample size nor conflicts of interest were disclosed in the available summary.

VITALIS: For ordinary people, this means that if you're dealing with sudden urges to pee, it's worth talking to a doctor about both bladder control and simple ways to stay steady on your feet so one issue doesn't quietly raise the odds of a tumble.
