Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 08/24/09
Leung FW et al. – Fecal incontinence affects up to 20% of community–dwelling adults and more than 50% of nursing home residents, and is one of the major risk factors for elderly persons in the nursing home. Institutionalization itself is a risk factor (eg, immobility due to physical restraints). Management should focus on identifying and treating underlying causes, such as diet– or medication induced diarrhea, constipation, and fecal impaction. Use of absorbent pads and special undergarments is useful.
