Abstract

The American Geriatrics Society, with support from the National Institute on Aging and other funders, held its ninth Bedside-to-Bench research conference, entitled “Urinary Incontinence in the Older Adult: A Translational Research Agenda for a Complex Geriatric Syndrome,” October 16 to 18, 2016, in Bethesda, Maryland. As part of a conference series addressing three common geriatric syndromes—delirium, sleep and circadian rhythm disturbance, and urinary incontinence—the series highlighted relationships and pertinent clinical and pathophysiological commonalities between these conditions. The conference provided a forum for discussing current epidemiology, basic science, and clinical and translational research on urinary incontinence in older adults; for identifying gaps in knowledge; and for developing a research agenda to inform future investigative efforts. The conference also promoted networking involving emerging researchers and thought leaders in the field of incontinence, aging, and other fields of research, as well as National Institutes of Health program personnel.
