Main findings
This study examined the association of eating behaviour with symptoms of pelvic floor disorders in middle-aged women. We found that women who had reported to have restrictive eating style were more likely to experience the symptoms of constipation or defecation difficulties. Similarly, women with highest food consumption in the evening were more likely to experience symptoms of urge urinary incontinence. Attempting to maintain healthy eating patterns was associated with lower risk of symptoms of urge urinary incontinence.
