Earlier reports estimated that about one in six adults in the United States and Europe had<unk> . The number of people affected with<unk>  increases with age, thus it is expected that<unk>  will become more common in the future as the average age of people living in the developed world is increasing. However, a recent Finnish population-based survey suggested that the number of people affected had been largely overestimated due to methodological shortcomings regarding age distribution and low participation (in earlier reports). It is suspected, then, that<unk>  affects approximately half the number of individuals as earlier reported. The American Urological Association reports studies showing rates as low as 7% to as high as 27% in men and rates as low as 9% to 43% in women. Urge incontinence was reported as higher in women. Older people are more likely to be affected, and the number of symptoms increases with age.
