Results revealed that individuals who begin to experience UI tend to have less frequent social interactions and participate in fewer social activities. UI, however, is only marginally associated with a decrease in physical activity. Reductions in physical activity, social connections, and social activities jointly explain about 22% of the association between UI and depressive symptoms, rendering it statistically insignificant.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>UI poses a threat to psychological well-being among older women.
