背景：肥胖和慢性疼痛是常见的合并症，相互影响。高龄与更多的合并症和多病有关。在这项研究中，我们调查了瑞典老年人的超重/肥胖负担及其合并症及其与慢性疼痛的关系。方法横断面分析随机抽取瑞典东南部65岁人群（N=6243）。数据收集自邮寄问卷，涉及疼痛方面、身体质量指数（BMI）和健康经历。慢性疼痛定义为前三个月的疼痛。根据0-10数值评定量表，疼痛得分为7分对应于严重疼痛。使用二元逻辑回归来确定与疼痛方面相关的变量。结果2633例（42%）报告慢性疼痛。肥胖的老年人（体重指数30kg/m(2)）比低正常体重的老年人（体重指数30kg/m）有更多的慢性疼痛（58%）
BackgroundObesity and chronic pain are common comorbidities and adversely influence each other. Advanced age is associated with more comorbidities and multi-morbidities. In this study, we investigated the burden of overweight/obesity and its comorbidities and their associations with chronic pain in a random population sample of Swedish older adults.MethodsThe cross-sectional analysis involved a random sample of a population65years in south-eastern Sweden (N=6243). Data were collected from a postal questionnaire that addressed pain aspects, body mass index (BMI), and health experiences. Chronic pain was defined as pain during the previous three months. According to the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale, pain scored 7 corresponds to severe pain. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the variables associated to pain aspects.ResultsA total of 2633 (42%) reported chronic pain. More obese older adults (BMI 30kg/m(2)) experienced chronic pain (58%) than those who were low-normal weight (BMI
