Degree of PA was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Interquartile ranges were used to describe the age, parity, and body mass index (BMI) of participants. To examine the association between PA and PFDs, a log transformation was applied to the weekly minutes of PA variable and a logistic regression model was constructed with weekly minutes of moderate\/vigorous PA, age, BMI, and parity as the predictors.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n              <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n              <jats:p>A total of 159 women were enrolled. Median age was 35 (IQR 32\u201337), median parity 4 (IQR 3\u20135), and median BMI 29.0 (IQR 24\u201333). The prevalence of PFD as determined by symptom assessment was 28% (n=44). The most frequent stage of prolapse identified by POP-Q was stage II (57%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=91). Thirty-six percent of the women (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=58) reported vigorous PA. Ninety-nine percent of the cohort (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=158) reported moderate PA. When controlling for age, parity, and BMI there was a significant positive association between PFD (defined as a combination of stage II prolapse, positive CST, and urinary incontinence (UI)) and moderate PA (OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.08\u20135.14, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value 0.045).<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n              <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n              <jats:p>Pelvic floor disorders are common among parous Ugandan women and are associated with moderate PA when controlling for age, BMI, and parity.
