Correlations between fluid intake and urination behavior at night.

Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used to analyze the correlations among urination frequency and fluid intake behaviors. Point biserial correlations were used to analyze the correlations among fluid intake behaviors and night urination. aValue means the participants who have urination at night (Once participants engaged in urination at night, they were included in the “≥1” group, otherwise they were not). *Means that there were statistically significant correlations, as the value of p was less than 0.05. TFI: total fluid intake.
