On Friday 19 July 2024, two corrections were applied to this manuscript to ensure consistency with methodology:

  • Following feedback from the Ministry of Health, on page 61 the sentence reading, “Weaknesses of the data are that it did not include those in very old age ranges or those living in residential care, that the question assessing continence was based on an older questionnaire and may not have the good measurement properties of contemporary questionnaires, and that BMI was by self-report” should read, “Weaknesses of the data are that it did not include those in very old age ranges or those living in hospital-level or dementia care-level residential care, and that the question assessing continence was based on an older questionnaire and may not have the good measurement properties of contemporary questionnaires.” In the methodology document for the Health Survey, BMI was based on actual measurements of weight and height, so that this comment does not apply as a weakness.
