Note: Model I includes all women in the analyzable dataset (n = 2,341); 872 reported SUI. Of the women reporting SUI, 403 reported SUI and UUI (MUI) and 469 reported SUI only. Model II excludes women classified as MUI (n =403), resulting in a dependent variable of SUI only. Model III excludes women who reported SUI only (n = 469), resulting in a dependent variable of MUI only. Results are presented as adjusted odds ratio estimate (95% confidence interval). Odds ratios are adjusted for all variables and education, race, and age.
