Background: Women spend one third of their life in menopause. The age related anatomical and physiological changes predispose them to MetS and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The aim was to study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and lower urinary tract symptoms in postmenopausal women attending menopause clinic, to study the correlation of LUTS and body composition among women with MetS.Methods: 154 post-menopausal women who attended menopause clinic at the Christian Medical College Hospital Vellore, were recruited. MetS was diagnosed using IDF criteria. LUTS were assessed BFLUTS questionnaires. Blood was taken to assess serum fasting glucose and lipid profile. DEXA was performed to assess the whole-body composition.Results: Of 154 postmenopausal women, 64% had MetS and 43% of women had a total LUTS score > 5. 90% of women had filling symptoms,57% had incontinence,17% had voiding symptoms,14 % had quality of life issues and 6 % had sexual symptoms. However, there was no statistical significant difference between two groups in correlating the variables of MetS with LUTS (P >0.05). The percentage of total body fat by DEXA scan was significantly greater (P=0.006) in women with MetS (37.32±5.04) when compared to the women without MetS (34.629±3.65).Conclusions: Prevalence of MetS among the study population was 64 %. LUTS were observed in 43% of the patients. There was no significant difference in LUTS in women with MetS and without Mets. However, there was a significant difference in body composition among women with and without MetS.

Abstract Background Most patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) suffer from bladder dysfunction during the course of the disease. This study was conducted to examine the prevalence of these complications among patients with MS. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on 603 patients with MS who referred to the neurology clinics of Kashani and Alzahra Hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. The sampling was performed by multi-stage random cluster sampling method and the informed consent form was filled in by the subjects. Then, all the data were collected through interviews using the Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (LUTSS) developed in accordance with the definitions presented by the International Continence Society (ICS) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests in SPSS and the significance level was considered to be less than 0.050. Results The prevalence rate of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was 87.6% among all the subjects, with a similar rate among women (88.0%) and men (86.0%). There was a significant difference between the two groups of men and women in terms of the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), intermittent urine flow, hesitancy, straining, and dribbling (P < 0.050). There was no significant difference between the two groups of women and men in terms of the prevalence of other symptoms (P > 0.050). Moreover, there was a significant difference between the degree of LUTS with age, marital status, education, duration of illness, clinical course, and disability (P < 0.05). Conclusions A high prevalence of LUTS was found among patients with MS, with similar rates in men and women, and the nature of the urinary complaints and LUTS was different among men and women with MS. Therefore, it is recommended that the health system take necessary measures regarding timely detection and treatment of LUTS among these patients in order to prevent secondary outcomes and improve the quality of life (QOL) of patients with MS.
