Using data from two generations of Framingham Heart Study participants, Felson identified a secular increase in widespread pain prevalence measured when both cohorts were in their 70s. This rising prevalence provides strong context for Limani’s examination of chronic pain’s effect on successful aging in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. Limani found that chronic pain significantly lowers respondents’ perceptions of their physical, psychological, and social wellbeing, with lower income and higher pain severity exacerbating these effects. Discerning safe and effective chronic pain management in older adults is a core research priority, particularly around opioid use. Milani investigated the interplay between sex, race/ ethnicity, and cognitive impairment on self-reported opioid use from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). After integrating Medicare Claims data, Milani will additionally explore parallel patterns of opioid prescription. Finally, Huang highlights the enduring health impact of early-life trauma using data from the Vietnam Health and Aging Study: early-life exposure to the Vietnam War increased the likelihood of later-life chronic pain.  \nThese studies leverage data from well-powered surveys to document trends in widespread pain prevalence, person-level consequences of chronic pain, disparities in opioid use, and the long-term health consequences of traumatic early-life experiences.","cbCaiu4okhiBHjwB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu4okhiBHjwB","pdf",103529,"English","# Symposium overview\n## Prevalence trends\n## Risk factors and disparities\n## Consequences and management focus","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of this symposium on chronic pain in older adults?\",\"answer\":\"It examines prevalence, risk factors, consequences, and management of chronic pain using large population-based samples from three countries.\"},{\"question\":\"What trend in chronic pain prevalence is identified using Framingham Heart Study data?\",\"answer\":\"A secular increase in widespread pain prevalence is observed when both cohorts are in their 70s.\"},{\"question\":\"How does chronic pain affect wellbeing according to the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging?\",\"answer\":\"Chronic pain significantly lowers respondents’ physical, psychological, and social wellbeing, with lower income and higher pain severity worsening these effects.\"}]","CHRONIC PAIN IN OLDER ADULTS - Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Consequences - Symposium Session 1070 | PDF",1790625066,5,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":98},[99,103,107,111,115,120,123,128,133,136,140],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":96,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},40,"healthcare",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":129,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":132},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":135},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":137,"slug":139},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":141,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":142,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":143},19,"General","general"]
