We examined the relationship between urinary incontinence and psychological distress in a sample of community-dwelling older adults. The data are from a probability sample of Washtenaw County, Michigan residents ages 60 years and older, who were interviewed in 1983 and 1984. A total of 747 women and 541 men were included in the analyses. Experiencing urinary incontinence, particularly in a severe form, was weakly related to depression, negative affect, and low life satisfaction. These relationships are partly explained by the fact that incontinent respondents are less healthy than are continent respondents.
