The article presents a study which investigates the association between men and women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and urinary incontinence (UI) with poorer quality of life. A descriptive survey design was used to determine the impact of cough and UI on the quality of life among 391 women and 337 men with COPD. Results indicate that women who had UI had a significant higher burden of symptoms than compared to men who had higher prevalence of cough and phlegm production.
