A global study of pain prevalence across 52 countries: examining the role of country-level contextual factors

Zachary Zimmer et al.

Summary: There is significant variation in the prevalence of pain across different countries, and individual demographic factors cannot fully explain this variation. The prevalence of pain is associated with country-level social, economic, and political contextual factors, with women, older individuals, and rural residents more likely to report pain. Income and gender inequalities have a significant association with pain prevalence, highlighting the importance of considering pain as a global health priority.

Gender differences in activity-limiting pain trajectories over a 17-year period in the Mexican Health and Aging Study

Sadaf Arefi Milani et al.

Summary: Pain increases with age, disproportionately affects women, and is a major contributor to decreased quality of life. A study in Mexico found two trajectories of pain among adults aged 50 and above: low-stable and moderate-increasing. Women were more likely to be in the moderate-increasing group. Other factors associated with pain included education level, marital status, self-rated health, obesity, arthritis, depressive symptoms, falls, and insurance status.

Socioeconomic status and occurrence of chronic pain: a meta-analysis

Jesus Prego-Dominguez et al.

Summary: This study revealed a moderate increase in the risk of chronic pain for individuals with low and medium socioeconomic status compared to those with high socioeconomic status, with consistent results across subgroup analyses. The study found moderate to high heterogeneity across strata, and some evidence of publication bias in studies related to low socioeconomic status. Further research in developing countries is needed to confirm these findings.

Pain Trends Among American Adults, 2002-2018: Patterns, Disparities, and Correlates

Anna Zajacova et al.

Summary: This study examines longterm trends in chronic pain prevalence among U.S. adults and finds that pain prevalence has escalated in all population subgroups over time, with an additional 10.5 million adults experiencing pain. Socioeconomic disparities in pain are widening, and psychological distress and health behaviors are important correlates of the trends. Chronic pain is an important dimension of population health, and demographic research should include it when studying health and health disparities.
