Losing weight helps women reduce urinary incontinence, according to a clinical trial co-authored by a University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) researcher and published in the January 29 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.



The study was funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the Office of Research on Womens Health (ORWH).

Delia West, Ph.D., professor of health behavior in the UAMS Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health and one of the original investigators in the trial, said the findings are significant in promoting good health in women.
