ABSTRACT
Obesity is a significant and increasing health problem for older individuals, caregivers, and health care financing and delivery systems. While the relationship between obesity and urinary incontinence has been studied fairly extensively in community-dwelling individuals, little is known about obesity and continence status, or nursing care needs of nursing home residents with these conditions. The results of the study reported here, gathered from observations and interviews with nursing home residents and their caregivers, provide a first step in examining this increasingly important issue.
