To assess the prevalence and characteristics of enuresis nocturna in adults, the treatment they received and the perceived impact, a random sample of 13081 non-institutionalized adults (18-64 years old) were asked to participate in the study in January-March 1996. The response rate was 87%. A personal computer questionnaire included 23 questions on frequency of bedwetting, daytime wetting, treatment and perceived impact. ⋯ It may affect careers, social life and personal relationships. Adults should be more aware that bedwetting is a treatable problem. More information should be given on this issue.
