Objective: To ascertain the prevalence of enuresis among primary school children in Spain.
Materials and methods: A multicenter, observational, cross-sectional, epidemiologic, regional
study. After sample size calculation, a total of 1687 questionnaires were sent to schools.
Nocturnal enuresis was defined as «loss of urine occurring during sleep, at least once a
month».
Results: The prevalence of enuresis found in primary school children aged 6-11 years was
7.8%, decrease with age, and was significantly greater in boys (70%).
Children without enuresis were taller and had a greater weight than those with enuresis,
but the differences were not statistically significant. No differences were found in the
family or educational setting between children with and without enuresis. Seventy-three
percent of children with enuresis had a family history of the condition. The disorder also
occurred in some sibling of 21% of children with enuresis who had siblings. Fifty-five
percent of the bedwetting population had primary enuresis. Thirty-one percent of children
with enuresis reported losses every night, 38% at least once a week, and 31% at least once
a month. Eighty-seven percent of this population was under treatment for this condition.
As regards subjective symptoms, 96.9% said they felt fine, but there were more bedwetting
children who reported feeling a little bit uncomfortable (76.7% vs 23.1%; P=.004).
Conclusions: Enuresis is a common disorder which is significantly more frequent in boys as
compared to girls and whose prevalence decreases with age. It has a significant hereditary
component. Most enuresis sufferers take measures against urine losses.
