Prevalence of Pain With Advancing Age Brief Report

摘要

Background: The epidemiology of chronic pain with advancing age remains poorly established. Although most studies have examined somatic (musculoskeletal and joint) pain, visceral pain (such as headache and abdominal pain) has warranted less attention. We present longitudinal data from age 70 to 90 years concerning chronic musculoskeletal/joint pain, abdominal pain, and headache.
