Summary

Age, parity, obesity and a number of comorbidities are the major clinical and lifestyle risk factors for female urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse at the population level. The socioeconomic risks for incontinence have however, conflicting evidence with assorted measures of socioeconomic status. Brazil is a country with enormous social contrasts, and deep inequality. We have a mixed origin of cultures and different economic and regional conditions. We believe that the perception and the impact that has Pelvic floor dysfunction in the quality of life of the woman must vary widely according to socioeconomic status (including household income, highest educational level, family income). There is to date no studies have correlated a criterion for classifying economic official in Brazil with the impact of quality of life (based in KHQ or PQOL) of women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
