Butera KA, et al. - Researchers performed this review summarizing the relationship between multisite pain and functional outcomes in older adults in order to enhance the understanding regarding the impact of multisite pain as a distinct entity within this population. They retrieved 17 peer-reviewed articles via performing a comprehensive literature search. In older individuals, there appeared an association of multisite pain with reductions in several physical function domains: 1) lower-extremity mobility; 2) upper-extremity impairments; 3) balance and increased fall risk; and 4) general disability and poor physical function. Further, psychological dysfunction (eg, anxiety and depressive symptoms) and social factors (eg, income and education) were noted to be correlated with multisite pain in older individuals.
