Bladder control and constipation

Age-related incontinence and constipation can negatively impact the quality of life of older Americans. Certain medications, a poor diet, and chronic health conditions can impact bodily functions.

Lifestyle choices like maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and having a healthy diet can help to prevent or alleviate incontinence and constipation. Seniors should talk to their doctor about effective medical treatments that can solve these issues.
