effective treatment for urinary incontinence in overweight women, US researchers have found. Trial participants were randomized either to an immediate-intervention group, who entered a

exercise. Patients were also taught techniques for modifying their eating and exercise habits. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
