Research Notes on Overactive Bladder Statistics
Overactive bladder effects 200 people worldwide, and 25 million people in the US. It is estimated that between 75 and 80 percent of overactive bladder sufferers are women. Because many people believe that it is a normal part of aging, overactive bladder often goes unreported and undiagnosed.1
Fast Facts:
- Overactive bladder is the term used for any condition that causes involuntary urination.2
- Overactive bladder is more common in women than in men.3
- Overactive bladder is most common in the elderly, although it may occur at any age.3
