Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter breaks down a Chinese study on elderly women showing a 300% increased risk of urinary tract infections and 85% higher urge incontinence risk among those with very low estrogen. Nursing-home residents are especially vulnerable.
300% increased risk of UTIs.
85% increased risk (speaker: '85% risk in urge incontinence').
300% increased risk of UTIs and they had an 85% risk in urge incontinence or increased risk. Hello everybody. I was reading some literature and I wanted to talk about this study that I just read out of China. It was looking at women who were in their elderly ages and looking at their levels of estrogen and how many of them, what was their risk of having bladder infections and urge incontinence and things like that. And keep in mind that in nursing home females, the number one cause of hospitalization is often UTIs and all of the things that those come along with. This study found that women who had the lowest amounts of estrogen in their body, which was usually Nothing, had a 300% increased risk of UTIs and had an 85% risk in urge incontinence or increased risk.
