A Randomized-Controlled Trial Pilot Study Examining the Effect of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on the Irisin Concentration in Overweight or Obese Elderly Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence

Table 3

The relationship between the assessment of irisin concentration for the EG at the initial and final assessments and RUIS.

RUIS; (points)	N	Statistics	Irisin concentration (ng/ml)		p value
			Initial assessment	Final assessment
Mild	9	IQR	2.86	3.42	0.007
		Med	9.01	10.94
Moderate	11	IQR	2.54	5.13	0.003
		Med	8.20	10.27
Severe	8	IQR	3.74	4.73	0.011
		Med	10.23	12.24

EG – experimental group; Med – median; IQR – interquartile range; N – number of participants;
p – significance level; RUIS – Revised Urinary Incontinence Scale; statistical significance
