对广泛性疼痛的研究通常依赖于由持续时间限制或“截止值”限定的病例定义。“然而，在临床现实中，局部疼痛和广泛疼痛之间没有自然的分界点。相反，疼痛最好由从局部疼痛到全身疼痛的连续的“扩散性”来表示。这篇文章的目的是描述一项人群研究中报告的疼痛部位数量及其与人口统计学、生活方式和健康相关因素的关系。采用横断面设计，标准化北欧问卷被用来衡量肌肉骨骼疼痛的7个年龄组在Ullensaker，挪威（n = 2926）。结果表明，女性报告的平均寿命高于男性。分居或离婚、正在康复或领取残疾养恤金的人的失业率也较高。此外，吸烟者、体力活动较少的人和BMI较高的人报告了更高的BMI。研究发现，肥胖与整体健康、睡眠质量和心理健康的下降之间存在很强的线性关系。多元线性回归分析的结果显示，整体健康状况、睡眠质量和性别与睡眠质量增加的相关性最强，占方差的31.4%。我们的研究表明，直接和简单的方法来计算骨密度可能是重要的管理复杂的问题，肌肉骨骼疼痛。(C)2007年，国际疼痛研究协会欧洲分会联合会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Research on widespread pain often relies upon case definitions bounded by duration limits or "cut-offs." In clinical reality, however, there are no natural cut-off points between localized and widespread pain. Rather, pain is best represented by a continuum of "widespreadness" from localized pain to pain spread across the body. The objective of this paper was to describe the number of pain sites (NPS) reported in a population study and its association with demographic, lifestyle, and health-related factors. Using a cross-sectional design, the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used to measure musculoskeletal pain among seven age groups in Ullensaker, Norway (n = 2926). Results showed that women reported a higher mean NPS than men. A higher NPS was also found for individuals who were separated or divorced, undergoing rehabilitation, or who had a disability pension. Additionally, greater NPS was reported by smokers, individuals with less physical activity, and a higher BMI. A strong linear relationship was found between NPS and reduction in overall health, sleep quality, and psychological health. Results from a multivariate linear regression analysis showed that overall health, sleep quality, and gender demonstrated the strongest associations with increasing NPS, accounting for 31.4% of the variance. Our study indicates that the straightforward and simple method of counting the NPS could be important in managing the complex problem of musculoskeletal pain.
