Table notes: Percents shown are column percents. Means & prevalence estimates are weighted for sampling design.
Abbreviations: NOAB= OAB of presumed neurologic origin, N-NOAB=non-neurogenic OAB, ND=neurologic disease, BACH=Boston Area Community Health Survey, SE= standard error.
This was defined identically to NOAB, except that the requirement to have neurologic disease was removed (see Figure 1).
