Forty-three consecutively presented children with
incontinence, diagnosed to International Children’s
Continence Society standards, and 44 matched
continent controls were examined prospectively. All
children received a physical examination, sonography,
and a one-dimensional intelligence test. Child
psychopathology was measured with the Child
Behavior Checklist (CBCL/4e18). Eating problems
were assessed with the German version of the Dutch
Eating Behaviour Questionnaire for Children (DEBQC)
and a 40-item-parental questionnaire referring to
atypical eating problems.
