STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the rate of @entity322 ( @entity322 ) in a sample of young nulligravid @entity1 and its potential risk factors and consequences on life habits. DESIGN AND @entity1 : The study is based on an online self-administered questionnaire taken by nulligravid @entity1 aged 15 to 25  years. MEASUREMENTS: The Questionnaire for @entity322 and part of The King's Health Questionnaire. Demographics and general characteristics are also recorded. RESULTS: We collected 1936 questionnaires (mean age of @entity1 , 21  years); 12.4% of the sample reported any @entity322 (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.9% to 13.9%). The estimated incidence of @entity322 subtypes was 7.2% (95% CI 6.0% to 8.4%) stress @entity322 , 3.4% (95% CI 2.6% to 4.3%) urge @entity322 , and 1.9% (95% CI 1.3% to 2.6%) mixed @entity322 . Age younger than 19  years and body mass index of 30  kg/m(2) or greater were associated in the multivariate analysis with an increased risk of @entity322 . A self-reported history of @entity74 increased the risk of @entity322 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.4 and 95% CI 1.1% to 1.9%), without significant differences among the @entity322 subtypes. A current history of constipation (AOR 1.9 and 95% CI 1.3% to 2.6%) and enuresis after the age of 5 also increased the risk of @entity322 (AOR 2.9 and 95% CI 2.0% to 4.3%). CONCLUSION: In a sample of young nulligravid @entity1 , @entity322 was not associated with any chronic risk factor known for elder age, but a prevention program may be proposed to @entity1 because of their young age (eg, educational session to promote the proper functioning of the pelvic floor). More detailed analyses are needed to better assess the prevalence of @entity322 and risk factors in young nulligravid @entity1 .
