Title

Stigmatizing a "normal" condition: Urinary incontinence in late life

Description

The geriatric medical literature presents a perspective on urinary incontinence in the elderly that is sharply divergent from the realities of medical and lay responses to incontinence. It reveals a consensus that urinary incontinence, a major health problem among the elderly, is treatable and frequently reversible.
