研究设计。全国性的访谈调查。确定百岁老人腰颈疼痛的1个月患病率和影响，并调查腰颈疼痛与其他健康指标（如身体功能、抑郁、合并症和自评健康）之间的关系。背景资料摘要。据我们所知，背部和颈部疼痛的患病率和影响从未在老年人中进行过研究。通过对丹麦百岁老人的面对面访谈，收集了1个月的背部和颈部疼痛患病率以及背部和颈部疼痛的困扰程度的信息。此外，还收集了身体和心理功能能力、自评健康和合并症的信息。256人完成了访谈（回复率56%）。在过去的一个月里，29%的女性和17%的男性经历过背部疼痛，23%的女性和19%的男性经历过颈部疼痛。这与丹麦另一项针对年轻老年人的全国性调查相当。21%的人在活动、休息或睡觉时背痛。整体身体机能不佳、自我评价健康状况不佳和抑郁评分较高与背部和颈部疼痛的患病率较高相关。即使到了耄耋之年，背痛和颈部疼痛仍然是常见和令人烦恼的主诉。因此，背部疼痛和颈部疼痛并不局限于工作人群。
Study Design. Nationwide interview survey.Objectives. To determine the 1-month prevalence and impact of back and neck pain among centenarians and to investigate associations between back and neck pain and other health measures such as physical function, depression, comorbidity, and self-rated health.Summary of Background Data. To our knowledge prevalence and impact of back and neck pain has never been studied among the oldest old.Methods. Information on the 1-month prevalence of back and neck pain and bothersomeness of back and neck pain was collected using face-to-face interviews in a nationwide survey of Danish centenarians. In addition, information on physical and mental functional abilities, self-rated health, and comorbidities were collected.Results. Two hundred fifty-six persons completed the interview (response rate, 56%). Twenty-nine percent of women and 17% of men had experienced back pain, and 23% of women and 19% of men had experienced neck pain during the past month. This was comparable to another nationwide Danish survey of younger seniors. Twenty-one percent had been bothered by back pain either when moving, resting, or sleeping. Poor overall physical function, bad self-rated health, and higher depression score were associated with higher prevalence of back and neck pain.Conclusion. Back pain and neck pain continue to be common and bothersome complaints even into extreme old age. Thus, back pain and neck pain are not limited to working populations.
