Is incontinence a normal part of aging? What Quizlet and experts say

According to the National Poll on Healthy Aging, nearly half of women aged 50-80 experience urinary incontinence, but many believe it is an inevitable part of growing older. This widespread misconception is incorrect; incontinence is a common but not a normal part of aging. While older adults are more susceptible, it is a medical condition often caused by underlying issues that can be effectively treated or managed.
