To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with urinary incontinence (IU) in climacteric women attending the Family Health Strategies. Cross-sectional study with 874 climacteric women, selected by probabilistic sampling. The variables were investigated by a structured/pre-tested questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test for variable selection for the multiple model adopting p≤0.25. In multivariate analysis, binary logistic regression was used to obtain adjusted odds ratios. After the analysis, the final model was constructed, adopting a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. The prevalence of urinary tract infection was 22.5%. After adjustments, the odds of urinary incontinence referred to these variables: single, sedentary/irregularly active women, smokers, overweight, obese women with severe climacteric symptoms, having episiotomy and presenting ovarian cysts. It was concluded that the presence of modifiable factors were associated with urinary incontinence.
