Urinary incontinence symptoms and several items of Work Ability Index were collected by postal questionnaire. Work ability was dichotomized as good or poor work ability in general, in relation to physical job demands, to diseases and own 2\u2010year prospect of work ability. The associations between urinary incontinence and work ability measures were assessed using logistic regression models, with further adjustments for biological, behavioral and work\u2010related factors as well as general health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The odds ratio (OR), from lowest to highest, for poor work ability were 1.4\u2010fold among women with stress urinary incontinence (OR 1.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09\u20131.72), 2.5\u2010fold with mixed urinary incontinence (OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.68\u20133.74) and 3.3\u2010fold with urgency urinary incontinence (OR 3.34, 95% CI 1.95\u20135.70).
