Normal values for assessment of anal sphincter morphology, anorectal motion, and pelvic organ prolapse with MRI in healthy women

ConclusionsIn addition to age, BMI and parity also affect anorectal motion in asymptomatic women. These findings provide age‐adjusted normal values for rectoanal anatomy and pelvic floor motion.

Compared to age, BMI and parity have lesser effects on anorectal motion in asymptomatic women. These findings provide age‐adjusted normal values for rectoanal anatomy and pelvic floor motion.
