NIH Advisory Panel on Incontinence Cites Need for Weight Loss and Exercise

The blind got lucky for a while there. They were spared the sight of Oprahs with poor dentition.

Alas, their luck has run out.

Now they have to smell them.

"Along with the aging of the Baby Boomers will be an increase in the prevalence of fecal and urinary incontinence, but weight loss and exercise can help reverse the conditions, found a panel of NIH advisers.

Fecal and urinary incontinence affect more than one-fourth of all Americans during their lives, said the 15-member independent advisory panel, chaired by C. Seth Landefeld, M.D., of the University of California at San Francisco, after a three-day State-of-the-Science conference."

They're everywhere! They're everywhere!

"The panel estimated that 10% of community-dwelling adults have both conditions. But among nursing home residents with chronic diseases the prevalence is probably closer to 40%."

So get fit, so you don't smell like sh*t. (Note that fat people need special tools and methods to clean themselves. Sorta like the elephants at the zoo or Oprah.)
