This study set out to investigate association between prevalence overactive bladder (OAB) and poverty income ratio (PIR) that served as a more influential indicator socioeconomic compared education occupation. Method Data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted 2007 2020 were used this cross-sectional study. The PIR OAB was examined using weighted multivariate logistic regression restricted cubic splines (RCS). Additionally, interaction analysis for investigation connections various covariate groups order confirm stability results. Results We observed noteworthy inverse after adjusting potential confounding variables (OR = 0.87, 95% CI, 0.84–0.90, p < 0.0001). transformed into categorical variables, held steady (1.0 <4.0 vs. ≤ 1.0, OR 0.70, CI =0.63–0.77, 0.0001; ≥ 4.0 0.56, =0.48–0.65, RCS showed had negative nonlinear response relationship. Subgroup analyses stronger obese than nonobese individuals (P 0.05). Conclusion In our study, we significant OAB. future, could be reference standard develop strategies prevent treat
