Abstract
Urinary stress incontinence is prevalent in older people, but it has also been found to affect fit nulliparous women. Building pelvic floor muscles with pelvic muscle exercises helps to treat stress incontinence in women, but if exercises are begun at an early age, it is also effective in reducing the incidence of stress incontinence later in life.
