Nocturia is a common and 'bothersome' condition, with two voids per night a critical threshold.- Estimates on the prevalence of nocturia suggest that, even though its prevalence is increasing with age, it is a condition that also affects approximately up to one in ten individuals aged 45 or younger.
A variety of demographic, lifestyle and health factors — which differ by age and gender — are associated with nocturia.- The research findings confirm previous research based on older study populations that some of the examined demographic factors associated with nocturia are also relevant for the working-age population, including age, gender or ethnicity. Furthermore, we find that chronic health conditions — such as kidney disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and hypertension — are associated with more frequent night time voids.
Nocturia is associated with higher levels of sleep disturbance and daytime fatigue.- Across three sleep quality measures we find that the prevalence of nocturia is associated with self-reported poor sleep quality, higher levels of sleep interruption and higher levels of daytime fatigue, independent of age and gender of the respondent.
Nocturia is significantly associated with lower life satisfaction, work engagement and productivity.- The empirical analysis presented in this study suggests that nocturia is associated with lower life satisfaction, work engagement and productivity in the working-age population, even after adjusting for many other factors that could determine these outcome variables, including sleep quality and duration.
Nocturia is associated with up to $79 billion of lost economic output per year across six countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Japan, Germany, Spain and Australia.
