White Matter Hyperintensities Are Associated With Bladder Storage and Voiding Dysfunction in Older Adults—Results From the OSTOAP Study

Moderate-to-severe WMHs are independently associated with urgency and impaired bladder emptying. These findings suggest that cerebral small vessel disease may contribute to LUT dysfunction in older adults and support the inclusion of neurological screening in their evaluation, reinforcing the value of integrative phenotyping in future studies.
