| Abstract | Urinary Incontinence (UI) is a costly condition that decreases the quality of a patient's life and social engagement. Identification of UI risk factors may help early prevention and treatment of the condition. In this study we revisited the Medical, Epidemiological and Social Aspects of Aging (MESA) data collected in 1983 by the University of Michigan. The experiments are conducted on the dataset pertaining to the female-only population. The dataset contains missing values. First, the missing values are classified into inconsistent, undetermined, genuine missing values and skip patterns. The undetermined and inconsistent values are distinguished from the skip patterns and removed from the dataset. Once the skip patterns are detected, they are used to stratify the MESA data. Based on the stratification performed, the important risk factors are then analyzed for each group of subjects. JRip rule extraction technique is utilized to determine the UI risk factors. Consequently, taking female hormones was determined as the most important stratifying feature. The dataset is then stratified to two subsets based on this stratifying feature. Education level, hearing problems, urine loss while coughing or sneezing, physical activity, stress and cancer are risk factors specific to taking female hormones. The common risk factors among both of the stratified groups were: stress, frequent sneezing, and low physical activity. Although there were common risk factors among both of the stratified groups these preliminary results show that different group of subjects have different risk factors, and therefore they should be provided with different diagnoses and possibly treatment plans. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
