Summary

The increase in the age of the population is a problem that affects both Spain and the rest of the world. Life expectancy increases, and this will influence the quality of life that older people will have. The quality of life is related to the health of the population. Women live longer than men and have diseases such as urinary incontinence that are more frequent in them. This is related to childbirth, increasing age, and menopause due to the hormonal level. Therefore, there are a series of problems related to both physical and mental health associated both with increasing age and with the situation of hormonal change that occurs after the onset of menopause. All of this will influence deficient pelvic musculature, sexual function, sleep quality, and depression/anxiety. Conservative treatment using hypopressive abdominal exercises has been shown to be beneficial at the level of health in female populations with urinary incontinence. The challenge lies in designing exercise programs that, in addition to achieving these benefits, are attractive with acceptance and adherence. The objective of this doctoral thesis is to study the effects of hypopressive abdominal exercises for 12 weeks on quality of life related to urinary incontinence in women, sleep quality, anxiety and depression, and female sexual function in women. Spanish postmenopausal women.
