García-Esquinas E, Rodríguez-Sánchez I, Ortolá R, et al. - In this investigation, researchers identified the factors related to the excess risk of pain observed among older women compared with men. They used information from a cohort of 851 women and men aged 63 and older who were pain-free in 2012 and followed up until December 31, 2015. The incidence of middle and highest pain was 12.5% and 22.6% in women and 12.4% and 12.6% in men, respectively, during a mean follow-up of 2.8 years. The data presented in this work showed a higher frequency of certain chronic diseases, worse functional status, psychological distress, and lower physical activity may mediate excess pain risk in older women vs men.
