INTRODUCTION
If we can identify women at risk of urinary incontinence, then perhaps early intervention can reduce stress in some of themIf physical stressors such as vaginal childbirth, vigorous exercise, massive obesity, and vaginal hysterectomy are risk factor for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), then either avoidence of stressors or preemptive strengthening exercises may prevent urinary leakage.There areanecdotal reports of female astronouts returning from a reduced-gravity environment to be greeted by SUIThis seems to higlight the importance of maintaining tone in the pelvic floor

The prevalence of incontinence is 37% in the United states, 26% in continental Europe, and 29% in the United Kingdom. Combining series from Singapure, Pakistan, Tunisia, NewZeland, and Japan yields a mean prevalence of incontinence of 20% according to the literature

Anatomic alterations in position of the bladder and urethra with genuine stress incontinence and an estimation of the relative transmission of intraabdominal pressure to the bladder and urethra. Worsening severity of anatomic displacement of the urethrovesical junction results in decreased pressure transmission of intraabdominal pressure to the urethracompared with the bladder.

If themagnitude of the bladder pressure Increase generatedby the stress times the inefficiency of pressure transmission [1-(∆Pu/∆PB)] exceeds the urethral closure pressure, genuine stress Incontinence results.

CONCLUSION1
Defining risk factor for urinary incontinence in women is essintial to institute preventive or corrective measures. While presdisposing risk factors are predetermined, inciting, promoting, or decompensating risk factors may be avoided or treated to improve continence status.
CONCLUSION2
Unfortunately, the pathophysiology of incontinence associated with particular risk factor is poorly understood. In addition, well-designed studies employing preventive or corective measure to deal with incontinence are rare. Increased research into the rule of risk factors for urinary incontinence in women is needed to help the many women effected
