Description: Faecal incontinence (FI) is a common problem among women in aged care that has been associated with anatomic, physiologic and medical conditions. There are very little data on the risk factors associated with FI in older women still living independently in the community. We aimed to determine if there are any potentially modifiable risk factors associated with FI in a large cohort of older Australian women still living in the community.
