Continence – a matter for everyone
Did you know that over 400 million people globally have some sort of continence related issue that affects their lives? Or that one in three women over 35 and one in four men over 40 will have incontinence? In fact, we’ll all eventually come in contact with these matters, as we sooner or later will either know or take care of someone living with it.
World Continence Week is an initiative, created to raise awareness for continence across the globe, to improve health, wellbeing and quality of life. It also seeks to inspire research, discussion and multidisciplinary approaches to treatment. At TENA, we wish to support this initiative and share some of the many stories we’ve encountered during our years as a worldwide leader of incontinence products.
The eleventh World Continence Week is happening between the 17th and 23rd of June this year. It’s a global event initiated by the International Continence Society that started as a single day in 2008, and became a whole week in 2009. Since 2016 the World Federation of Incontinence Patients has managed World Continence Week and produces information and materials to support the event. You can read more about WCW and this year’s themes at www.wfip.org
