The
elderly people are prone to be affected by quality of life (QOL) by nocturia
becoming the multiple times. A purpose of this study was to determine it about
a factor associated with the night urination. This survey was conducted in 2015
as a cross-sectional study. Anonymous, self- administered questionnaires were
used to prevent individuals from being identified. The analysis subjects were
699 elderly people with the nocturia which belonged to club of the aged 65
years or older. Those with nocturia were placed in the Nocturia-1 group if they
reported experiencing nocturia once per night or in the Nocturia- ≥ 2 group if
they reported experiencing nocturia two or more times per night. We analyzed
the relationships between the characteristics, lower urinary tract symptoms,
and opportunities to go outdoors in the Nocturia-1 and Nocturia- ≥ 2 groups
based on sex using the x 2 test. In addition, to investigate the factors that
influence the change from nocturia once per night to two or more times per
night, we performed logistic regression analysis using the x 2 test on the
characteristics and lower urinary tract symptoms that showed significant
differences separately for men and women. Among the men, factors with a
significant positive relationship were age, diabetes mellitus, lower back pain,
daytime frequency, and urinary urgency. Among the women, factors with a
significant positive relationship were age, requiring support 1-requiring
long-term care 2, urinary urgency, and feeling of incomplete emptying. It was
suggested that the life of elderly people improved by nocturia not increasing
