description | OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to elucidate the actual state of anal incontinence (AI), fecal incontinence (FI), and the associated factors in Japanese medical personnel. METHODS: A questionnaire was completed by Japanese medical personnel after listening to lectures on AI. AI was defined as involuntary loss of feces or flatus. RESULTS: A total of 463 persons (mean age, 35.6 years; range, 20-91; male/female/no answer, 132/324/7) participated in the questionnaire. AI occurred in 34.4% of 450 participants (flatus/liquid stool/solid stool: 30.4%/3.6%/0.4%). AI was significantly more prevalent in females (male/female: 15.5%/42.7%, p < 0.001). AI and FI occurred significantly more prevalent in participants aged ≧40 years (p < 0.024). AI was significantly associated with childbirth, frequency of childbirth (more than three times), vaginal delivery, urinary incontinence, the style of urination/defecation, and a history of gynecologic surgery and systemic diseases (p < 0.05). Female gender and age as well as urinary incontinence and inability to defecate separately in female and previous colorectal disease and/or surgery in male were risk factors of AI by multivariate analysis (p < 0.05). FI was correlated with urinary incontinence. CONCLUSIONS: AI and FI occurred in 34.4% and 4.0% of Japanese medical personnel, respectively. Gas incontinence was common in every age group. AI was associated with female gender, higher age group, urinary incontinence, the style of urination and defecation in female, and previous colorectal disease and/or surgery in male. FI was associated with urinary incontinence. |
