Clinical Trial Summary

As far as the investigators know, until this moment no research has investigated the prevalence of Sarcopenia in both sexes in Hungary. Additionally, no research discovered the association between sarcopenia and UI and the effect of physical activity level on these geriatric conditions in Hungary.

Furthermore, it is known that Sarcopenia and UI are causing negative psychological, physical, and social effects on the geriatrics who are suffering from these conditions, not to mention the increase in health care costs. In an attempt to decrease these negative effects, there is a need for a deeper understanding of these conditions by identifying the relationship between them and understanding the risk factors that might cause them. The finding of this study would help with determining those risk factors that are causing these geriatric conditions (Sarcopenia and UI).

Last, this study will provide accurate numbers and statistics to the Hungarian health organizations and educational institutions about the prevalence of sarcopenia and UI which will help shed the light on the importance of these problems among older adults in Hungary.

This Cross-sectional study aim to:

1. Explore and study physical activity levels among aging adults of both sexes in Hungary.

2. To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and UI among elderly individuals in Hungary.

3. Investigate the associations between sarcopenia and urinary incontinence among older adults (≥ 50 years).

4. Identify the effect of physical activity level on the occurrence of Sarcopenia and Urinary incontinence

Hypothesis:

1. The investigators hypothesize that sarcopenia is a risk factor to have UI.

2. The investigators hypothesize that reduced physical activity level is also associated with sarcopenia and/or UI.
