<b>Purpose:</b> Cough is the most common symptom for which patients in the United States and elsewhere seek medical attention. Chronic cough (>8 weeks duration) is associated with quality of life disruption, including physical discomfort, depression, anxiety and social isolation. It is known that urinary incontinence (UI) is frequently associated with chronic cough in women, however, little information is available in the medical literature regarding the actual prevalence of this condition among women suffering from chronic cough. <b>Methods:</b> Consecutive women presenting to the Montefiore Cough Center (New York, USA) for evaluation of chronic cough provided data regarding occurrence of UI associated specifically and temporally with cough. Additional data collected included age, duration of cough, duration of UI, body mass index (BMI) and relationship of UI onset to cough onset. <b>Results:</b> To date, 112 of 180 consecutive women (62.2%) presenting for evaluation of chronic cough have reported the presence of UI associated with episodes of cough. In all but five subjects (96%), cough predated onset of UI. Women with UI were older (age 60.2±12.5(SD) yr vs. 55.5±18.2 yr; p=0.04) and had a significantly greater BMI: 30.0±7.2 kg/m<sup>2</sup> vs. 26.8±6.3 kg/m<sup>2</sup>; p=0.003. Although duration of cough was greater in subjects with UI (50.3±76.6 months vs. 46.4±63.8 months), this difference was not statistically significant. <b>Conclusions:</b> UI is experienced by the majority of women suffering from chronic cough. In the vast majority of cases, onset of UI followed onset of chronic cough, and UI occurred exclusively and immediately following an episode of cough.
