Abstract

Nocturnal polyuria (NP) with urinary incontinence increases the risk of sleep disturbance, incontinence‐associated dermatitis, and urinary tract infection. Factors associated with NP in older adults receiving enteral nutrition (EN) have not been clearly identified. This study aimed to evaluate the direct and indirect associations between NP and related factors in older adults receiving EN in medical long‐term care hospitals (MLTCHs).
