The trial is looking for postmenopausal women aged 50-75 years, with or without osteoporosis, to study urine leakage when coughing or exercising (stress urinary incontinence) and muscle loss.

Sex

Women only

Disease stage

Postmenopausal women with a bone density scan (DXA) done in the last 6 months. Osteoporosis group: T-scores of -2.5 and below at the femoral neck and L1-L4. Control group without osteoporosis: T-scores of -1 and above.

Main reasons for not taking part

• Refusal to take part in the study
• History of neurological diseases, infections, surgeries or trauma that could cause urinary incontinence or muscle loss

What the trial wants to find out

The primary aim of our study is to evaluate the presence of stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal patients with and without osteoporosis, determine its impact on quality of life, and explore its relationship with sarcopenia.

The 2 groups in the trial

• Postmenopausal osteoporosis

  Postmenopausal osteoporosis is diagnosed using Dual-X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), which measures bone mineral density (BMD) and provides a T-score. A T-score of -2.5 or lower confirms the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

• Postmenopausal non-osteoporotic women

  These women maintain normal bone mineral density (BMD) levels, typically assessed using Dual-X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). A T-score above -1.0 is considered normal.
