Patients in the excessive sugar intake group had a significantly longer duration of OAB symptoms compared to those in the non-excessive sugar intake group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). A comparison of OAB symptoms between the two groups revealed that patients in the excessive sugar intake group had significantly higher total scores on the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and higher scores for daytime urinary frequency, urgency frequency, and urgency urinary incontinence compared to those in the non-excessive sugar intake group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Correlation analysis between sugar intake and OAB symptoms revealed significant positive correlations between average daily total sugar intake and the symptom duration of OAB, OABSS total score, daytime urination frequency score, urgency frequency score, and urgency urinary incontinence score (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The duration of excessive sugar intake was significantly positively correlated with the symptom duration of OAB, OABSS total score, and urgency urinary incontinence score (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).
