The women with more number of child births were the person who was suffering more with that of the urinary incontinence. the majority of the population falls under the farmers/ clerical staffs or the shop keepers; they accounts for 105(32.2%) people and of those 59 (38.8%) reported that they were having the urinary incontinence. The unemployed comprises 33 (21.7%) of the urinary incontinence prevailing zone next to the clerical. The association between the prevalence of UI and the occupation came out with the Chi square value of 16.787 and the P value of 0.05 which is not statistically significant. In this classification there were no people falling in the professionals. the prevalence of urinary incontinence with gender has been shown. And the prevalence of urinary incontinence was high in males with 78 (51.4%) and in females it is 74 (48.6%) No significant association was found between gender and urinary incontinence as the P value was more than 0.05. the relationship between the prevalence of UI and the socio economic classification, and it is clear that most of the people suffering from UI were from the class IV of socio economic scale which is about 89(58.5%).
