Weight, lifestyle factors tied to urinary symptoms

More piss poor decision-making by fat people.

"Adults who are obese or have less-than-ideal lifestyle habits may be more likely to have multiple, and more severe, urinary problems, new research suggests.

In a study of more than 5,500 men and women ages 30 to 79, researchers found that three-quarters of women and two-thirds of men reported at least one urinary tract symptoms -- such as frequent trips to the bathroom overnight, difficulty emptying the bladder and urinary incontinence.

Obese adults were more likely than their normal-weight counterparts to have multiple, more severe symptoms.

...including urine leakage and incontinence."

A partial explanation for their distinctive aroma.

Great to be fat, eh?
