UI = ≥weekly urinary incontinence; POP = symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse; FI = ≥monthly fecal incontinence; BMI = body mass index; Ref = Reference group N/A = Not available due to small numbers; ns=not significant (P>0.2)

^*p<0.05

^†FI+POP and UI+FI+POP groups were excluded from this analysis due to small numbers.

^‡OR based on multinomial logistic regression. All variables in the table were included in the multinomial model. Risk was compared to women without any condition.

^§Reference groups for college graduate, estrogen, hysterectomy, diabetes, ≥ monthly constipation and current smoker were women without the risk factor.
