Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and possible risk factors of overactive bladder symptoms (OABS) among women living in a western city of Turkiye, Izmir. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire and the validated Overactive Bladder Symptom Score were filled by urologists with face-to-face interview. The prevalence of OABS and independent possible risk factors of OABS such as age, obesity, systemic diseases, educational level, marital status and number of births were analyzed. The participants with OABS and without OABS were compared in terms of possible risk factors. Results: A total of 719 women were included and the prevalence of OABS was 42.8% in our study. The prevalence of OABS with urinary incontinence (UI) (OA[B.sub.wet]) was 69.2% and the prevalence of OABS without UI (OA[B.sub.dry]) was 30.8% and nocturia was the most common OABS besides urgency. There was a statistically significant association between OABS and presence of nocturia and UI types (r=0.363, p<0.001, r=0.568, p<0.001). The key risk factors for OABS according to multivariate analysis were obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, marital status and lower education level. Conclusion: The prevalence of OABS was 42.8% among adult Turkish women in the city of Izmir. Obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lower education and being married were significantly related to OABS in women. Keywords: Overactive bladder symptoms, Prevalence, Risk factors, Urinary incontinence Amaç: Türkiye'nin bati kenti Izmir'de yasayan kadinlarda asiri aktif mesane semptomlarinin (AAMS) prevalansini ve olasi risk faktörlerini degerlendirmeyi amaçladik. Gereç ve Yöntem: Validasyonu yapilmis Asiri Aktif Mesane Semptom Skoru (OABSS) formunu içeren anket, katilimcilarla yüz yüze görüsme ile ürologlar tarafindan dolduruldu. AAMS prevalansi ve yas, obezite, komorbidite, egitim düzeyi, evlilik durumu ve dogum sayisi gibi AAMS'nin bagimsiz olasi risk faktörleri degerlendirildi. AAMS olan ve olmayan katilimcilar olasi risk faktörleri açisindan karsilastirildi. Bulgular: Çalismamiza toplam 719 kadin dahil edildi ve AAMS prevalansi %42,8 idi. Idrar kaçirma ile birlikte olan AAMS prevalansi %69,2, idrar kaçirma birlikteligi olmaksizin AAMS prevalansi %30,8 olarak bulundu ve acil sikisma hissi ile birlikte en sik görülen semptom noktüriydi. AAMS ile noktüri ve idrar kaçirma tipleri arasinda istatistiksel olarak anlamli iliski vardi (r=0,363, p<0,001, r=0,568, p<0,001). Çok degiskenli analize göre AAMS için temel risk faktörleri obezite, hipertansiyon, diabetes mellitus, evlilik durumu ve düsük egitim seviyesi idi. Sonuç: Izmir ilindeki yetiskin Türk kadinlarinda AAMS prevalansi %42,8 idi. Obezite, hipertansiyon, diabetes mellitus, düsük egitim ve evli kadinlar arasinda AAMS ile anlamli iliski vardi.
