【 摘 要 】

References(9)Data from 48,187 cats insured between April 2012 and March 2013 were analyzed usinglogistic regression analysis to determine the association of age, breed and sex with theoccurrence of urinary disorders. The overall annual prevalence of urinary disorders was12.2%. Using crossbreeds as the reference breed, Abyssinian cats had the highest odds ofhaving urinary disorders with a ratio of 1.40 (95% confidence interval: 1.20�?1.63),followed by Norwegian Forest Cats and Somalis. Male cats had higher odds of having urinarydisorders with a ratio of 1.27 (1.20�?1.35) over female cats. Older cats had higher odds ofhaving urinary disorders than young cats.
