About this trial
The primary aim of our study is to evaluate the presence of stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal patients with and without osteoporosis, determine its impact on quality of life, and explore its relationship with sarcopenia.

Primary outcomes
Presence of Stress Urinary Incontinence:
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting. In this study, the presence of SUI will be determined through a questionnaire that asks participants about symptoms and frequency of urine leakage during such activities.
Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QOL):
The I-QOL is a validated questionnaire that measures the impact of urinary incontinence on a patient's quality of life. It assesses how incontinence affects daily activities, social interactions, and emotional well-being. Higher scores indicate better quality of life, while lower scores suggest that incontinence has a more significant negative impact on the patient's day-to-day functioning.
Skeletal Muscle Mass:
Measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), this assesses the amount of muscle tissue in the body. Low skeletal muscle mass indicates sarcopenia.
Handgrip Strength
This is a simple test to measure muscle strength. Reduced handgrip strength is a sign of sarcopenia.
