Is stress urinary incontinence a disorder that runs in the family?

Most of the causes of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are not related to genetic predisposition, except for muscular dystrophy, which is rare. However, some predispositional or decompensating factors (such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, dementia) may tend to run in the family, and thus various members of the same family may suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
