Abstract EN
Objective.
This study aimed to examine the effect of pelvic floor muscle training on the irisin (Ir) concentration in overweight or obese elderly women with stress urinary incontinence.
Methods.
The number of participants included in analysis was 49: 28 women in the experimental group and 21 women in the control group.
The experimental group (EG) underwent pelvic floor muscle training, whereas no therapeutic intervention was applied to the control group (CG).
Irisin concentration, severity of urinary incontinence (RUIS), and body mass index (BMI) were measured in all women at the initial and final assessments.
Results.
By comparing the initial and final assessment results we have been able to demonstrate statistically significant differences in the measured variables in the experimental group.
No statistically significant differences in the measured variables were reported for the control group at the initial and final assessments.
Moderate negative correlation was observed between the BMI results with the irisin concentration results in the EG at the initial assessment and no correlation at the final assessment.
Weak positive correlation was observed between the BMI results with the irisin concentration in the CG at the initial and final assessment.
Conclusion.
Further studies are necessary to observe the regulation of irisin concentration and explain mechanisms underlying these effects.
