Abstract

Objective: Overactive bladder (OAB) and childhood voiding disorders are important and common health problems. In the literature, child- hood voiding disorders have been shown to be an important risk factor for OAB in adulthood. We aimed to reveal the factors that facilitate the emergence of AAM in adulthood in patients with childhood voiding disorders.

Material and Methods: 144 patients with voiding disorders in childhood were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups as those with OAB (Group 1) and those without OAB (Group 2). Demographic data and eating habits of all patients were determined with a questionnaire.

Results: In the group 1, 44 women (59.5%) and 30 men (39.5%), in the second group,  31 women (44.3%) and 39 men (55.7%) were includ- ed.. The mean body mass index of the group 1 (26.0±5.2) was higher than the group 2 (24.4±3.4) (p=0.034). There was no difference between eat- ing habits between daily water, tea and coffee consumption. Hot chilli consumption was signifi- cantly higher in Group 1 than Group 2 (p=0.003). There was no significant difference in cigarette consumption between the groups (p=0.796). Al- cohol consumption was higher in Group 1 but there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.591).

Conclusion: We found that obesity and hot chilli consumption may be risk factors for OAB in adulthood in patients with voiding disorders in childhood.

Keywords: Childhood voiding disorders, overactive bladder, risk factors.
