OBJECTIVE: Unhealthy aging is associated with fecal incontinence (FI) and poor physical performance. The link between FI and physical performance in older adults is unknown. We aim to examine the longitudinal relationship between FI symptoms and physical performance among older US adults. METHODS: We analyzed a cohort of well-functioning, adults aged 70-79 years enrolled in the prospective cohort of the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study. Fecal incontinence symptoms were assessed at baseline using a validated question. Physical performance was determined by the expanded version of the Short Physical Performance Battery (HABC PBB), which includes an assessment of usual and fast walking speed and balance measures. Objective measures of physical performance were determined at baseline and year 4. Univariate and multivariate analyses compared physical performance based on presence of FI symptoms adjusting for important demographic and clinical covariates. RESULTS: Of the 2914 participants in the Health ABC cohort, 222 (8%) had FI symptoms and 2692 (92%) did not. Mean age and BMI were 73 years and 27 kg/m2, respectively. Older adults with FI symptoms demonstrated a clinically significant decline in total HABC PBB scores from baseline to year 4 of -0.33 (95% CI: -0.41, -0.25), a statistically significant difference compared to adults without FI symptoms (-0.26 [95% CI: -0.32, -0.20]), p = 0.04. Sub-scale components demonstrated greater deficits in narrow walk speed, p = 0.03, and non-significant trend in greater deficits in repeated chair rise pace and gait speed, p ≥ 0.05. CONCLUSIONS: Fecal incontinence symptoms are associated with clinically important declines in physical performance in older adults.
