- Abstract
We investigated the conditions that affect the frequency of urination in elderly men in winter. We recruited elderly men aged 65 and over living in the Kanto region on the Internet as research collaborators. During the survey period of about 10 days, we asked for urination time and approximate urine volume records, and a questionnaire survey once during the survey period. During the survey period, the temperature and humidity of the living room and bedroom were automatically measured every 10 minutes. When the living room temperature during waking was low or the international prostate symptom score was high, the frequency of urination during waking tended to increase. High bedtime bedroom temperatures, high Pittsburgh sleep questionnaire scores, or high overactive bladder symptom scores tended to increase bedtime urination frequency. A series of reactions were considered in which sleep disorders were more likely to occur when the sleeping room temperature was high at bedtime, and overactive bladder symptoms were exacerbated by shallow sleep, resulting in an increase in the frequency of urination at bedtime. In addition, the number of urinations per day tended to increase as the international prostate symptoms or overactive bladder symptoms worsened.
