Although many contributing risk factors are potentially modifiable, little is known about which are considered clinically important by experts and are also viewed by older men as feasible and worthwhile to address. This study combined expert consensus with older men\u2019s perspectives to identify candidate priorities for future self-management intervention development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a sequential multi-methods study: an international Delphi survey with continence care experts followed by a cross-sectional survey of community-dwelling men aged \u226565\u00a0years with UI in Alberta, Canada. Experts rated the clinical importance and modifiability of evidence-informed risk factors, with consensus defined as \u226575% agreement. Older men reported willingness and perceived capability to modify expert-identified factors and completed the Geriatric Self-Efficacy Index for Urinary Incontinence (GSE-UI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Experts (n\u00a0=\u200932 in Round 1; n\u00a0=\u200920 in the final round) reached consensus on 19 clinically important and modifiable risk factors, spanning medical (obesity, constipation, diabetes) and behavioural (smoking, alcohol, caffeine) domains. Older men (n\u00a0=\u2009212, mean age 77.6\u00a0years) reported moderate self-efficacy (overall GSE-UI\u201451.0\u2009\u00b1\u200935.9), with lower confidence in socially or physically challenging situations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Integrating expert consensus with patient-reported willingness and perceived capability identified nocturia\/nocturnal polyuria, insomnia\/sleep disorder, increased body mass index (BMI)\/obesity and anxiety as candidate priorities for future self-management intervention development. Increased BMI\/obesity and anxiety exceeded the thresholds for prevalence, willingness and perceived capability, whereas nocturia\/nocturnal polyuria and insomnia\/sleep disorder exceeded the thresholds for prevalence and willingness but not perceived capability. Integrating expert consensus with older men\u2019s willingness and perceived capability provides an empirical approach to prioritising candidate intervention targets rather than relying on clinical importance alone. These findings provide a rationale for designing and evaluating future self-management interventions that better align with both clinical priorities and patient readiness.<\/jats:p>\n
