To determine the prevalence of chronic pain in the elderly and its relationship with obesity, associated co-morbidities and risk factors. Cross-Sectional Community-based A representative community sample of 840 elderly subjects age 70 or older. We examined the prevalence of chronic pain and its relationship with obesity (categories defined by body mass index), other medical risk factors and psychiatric comorbidities. Chronic pain was defined by pain of at least moderate severity (≥ 4 on a 10-point scale) some, most or all of the time for the past three months. The sample was mostly female (62.8%) and the average age was 80 years (range 70–101 years). The prevalence of chronic pain was 52% (39.7% in men; 58.9% in women). Those with chronic pain were more likely to report a diagnosis of depression (OR 2.5, 95%CI=1.40–4.55) and anxiety (OR 2.3, 95%CI=1.22–4.64). Compared to individuals with normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9), obese subjects (BMI 30–34.9) were twice as likely (OR 2.1, 95%CI=1.33–3.28) while severely obese subjects (BMI ≥ 35) were more than four times as likely (OR 4.5, 95%CI=1.85–12.63) to have chronic pain. Obese subjects were significantly more likely to have chronic pain in the head, neck/shoulder, back, legs/feet, and abdomen/pelvis than non-obese subjects. In multivariate models, obesity (OR 2.0, 95%CI=1.27–3.26) and severe obesity (OR 4.1, 95%CI=1.57–10.82) were associated with chronic pain after adjusting for age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, depression, anxiety and education. Chronic pain is common in this elderly population, affects women more than men and is highly associated with obesity.
