CONCLUSION
This study was exploratory in nature. Eating behaviour has scantly been
studied as potential risk factor for pelvic floor disorders, and thus
our aim was to test the proof-of-concept. Since we found some eating
styles to associate with perceived pelvic floor disorders, our study
provides justification for further studies to investigate causality.
Particularly, we found the restrictive eating style to associate with a
higher risk to experience problems with bowel function, while regarding
urge urinary incontinence the evening-oriented food consumption was
associated with a higher and attempting to maintain healthy eating
patterns with a lower risk.
