Sažetak

Background: Patients with obesity may experience lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Little is known about these symptoms
in obese patients in Croatia. The aim of this study was to asses LUTS in this group of patients.
Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary healthcare centre. 111 participants were included
(81 women and 30 men, age 23-78 years), with BMI>30 kg/m2. LUTS were evaluated using International consultation on
incontinence questionnaires (ICIQ) investigating symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI): ICIQ-OAB
and ICIQ-UI Short Form (SF). We evaluated also some of the questions on the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire.
Results: On ICIQ-OAB patients most often reported:UI (46.85% (N=52)), nocturia (42.34% (N=47)) and increased frequency of
urination (34.23% (N=38)), and on ICIQ-UI SF: UI when coughing and sneezing (44.44% (N=32)), urgency UI (43.06% (N=31))
and UI during exercise/physical activity (22.22% (N=16)). Women were found to be more significantly affected by OAB symptoms (p<0.05). Significant correlations were found between the overall results on ICIQ-OAB and hypertension (r=0.32).
Conclusions: The results of this study confirm that obese patients in Croatia experience LUTS as well. A higher incidence of
LUTS was found among women and gender-independent among hypertensive obese patients.
