Using a nationally representative dataset, we investigated the prevelance of nocturia amongst PWD. METHODS: Data from the 2013-2016 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative cross-sectional survey by the Centers for Disease Control, was used to generate prevalence estimates for severe nocturia, defined as nocturnal urination≥2 time nightly, by functional disability type. We additionally estimated nocturia prevalence within the general US population and compared that to prevalence within sub-populations of PWD. Multivariate logistic regression models were built using known correlates of nocturia. RESULTS: The age-adjusted prevalence of severe nocturia in PWD in the United States was found to be 41. 4% in PWD (95% CI 37.9-44.7) as compared to 22.3% (95% CI 20.2-24.6) in the population of people without disabilities. Odds of reporting nocturia remained significantly elevated amongst PWD (Adjusted odds ratio 2.1 95% CI: 1.8-2.5) despite adjustment for age, gender, race, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. CONCLUSIONS: There is a significantly increased prevalence of severe nocturia in PWD. Even with adjustment of multiple known risk factors, odds of reported nocturia remain elevated across all disability domains. Further analysis is required to understand the etiology of this health disparity.
