The relationship between education and pain among adults aged 30–49 in the United States
The Journal of Pain Aug 09, 2020
Zajacova A, Rogers RG, Grodsky E, et al. - Disparities in pain across levels of educational attainment were analyzed using data from the 2010 to 2017 National Health Interview Survey among adults aged 30 to 49 (N = 74,051). Researchers used a dichotomous summary pain index and its 5 constituent pain sites (low back, joint, neck, headache/migraine, and facial/jaw) to estimate logistic regression models of pain prevalence. Per findings, pain is reported by over 50% of US adults aged 30 to 49. Relative to less educated, more educated Americans reported substantially less pain. However, significantly higher pain levels were reported among adults with a high-school equivalency diploma and those with "some college" relative to other groups. Attaining an insight into the causes may allow determination of the mechanisms through which social factors influence pain.
