Although they appear distinct in nature, a growing body of evidence suggests a potential interrelationship between these conditions. Our objective was to explore the association between the risk of OSA and the occurrence of UI within a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. Utilizing cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning the years 2015 to 2020, we conducted an analysis on a sample comprising 8,647 adults who provided comprehensive self-reported information on both UI and sleep apnea symptoms. The included cohorts were analyzed based on their sex. We employed the Multivariate Apnea Prediction (MAP) index to evaluate the risk of OSA. Subgroup analyses were conducted, categorizing them according to different types of UI. The association between OSA risk and UI was estimated through multivariable binary logistic regression models. After adjusting for relevant confounders, our results revealed a positive correlation between OSA risk and UI in both males (OR = 5.68, 95% CI = 1.74\u201318.47) and females (OR = 5.99, 95% CI = 2.68\u201313.41). The subgroup analysis illustrates that an elevated risk of OSA heightens the likelihood of experiencing stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) in both male and female populations. Our study findings imply that an elevated risk of OSA exacerbates the likelihood of UI, SUI, UUI and MUI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0312869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,1]],"date-time":"2024-11-01T13:23:22Z","timestamp":1730467402000},"page":"e0312869","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Associations between obstructive sleep apnea risk and urinary incontinence: Insights from a nationally representative survey"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2526-1675","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bo","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenhui","family":"Xiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meilin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0312869.ref001","first-page":"667","article-title":"Sleep-related breathing disorders in adults: recommendations for syndrome definition and measurement techniques in clinical research","volume":"22","year":"1999","journal-title":"The Report of an American Academy of Sleep Medicine Task Force.
