Abstract

Purpose: Several studies have found that sexual minority individuals are at greater risk for chronic pain. However, these studies did not ask about gender identity, and research on chronic pain in transgender populations remains scarce. This present study examined the relationship between transgender status and chronic joint pain disorders among U.S. adults. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. We compared odds of chronic joint pain disorders by transgender status (n transgender = 967, cisgender = 217,943, don't know/not sure = 648, refused = 2072) using logistic regression adjusting for age. Results: After adjusting for age, transgender respondents reported greater odds of chronic joint pain disorders (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05-1.48), compared with cisgender respondents. Odds for chronic joint pain disorders were lower for the "refused" group (AOR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.76-0.93) and for those who answered "don't know/not sure" (AOR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.61-0.88). Conclusion: Consistent with preliminary evidence and with the minority stress model, transgender respondents were at increased odds of chronic joint pain disorders when adjusting for age.

美国变性成年人的慢性关节疼痛差异：行为风险因素监测系统，2020 年。

目的：几项研究发现，性少数人群患慢性疼痛的风险更大。然而，这些研究并没有询问性别认同，而且对跨性别人群慢性疼痛的研究仍然很少。本研究调查了美国成年人中跨性别状态与慢性关节疼痛疾病之间的关系。方法：数据来自2020年行为危险因素监测系统。我们比较了跨性别者（跨性别者= 967人，顺性别者= 217,943人，不知道/不确定者= 648人，拒绝者= 2072人）患慢性关节疼痛疾病的几率。结果：在调整年龄后，与顺性别受访者相比，跨性别受访者报告的慢性关节疼痛疾病的几率更高（调整后的优势比[AOR] = 1.24, 95%可信区间[CI] = 1.05-1.48）。“拒绝”组（AOR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.76-0.93）和回答“不知道/不确定”组（AOR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.61-0.88）患慢性关节疼痛疾病的几率较低。结论：与初步证据和少数民族应激模型一致，跨性别受访者在调整年龄后患慢性关节疼痛疾病的几率增加。

期刊介绍： LGBT Health is the premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting optimal healthcare for millions of sexual and gender minority persons worldwide by focusing specifically on health while maintaining sufficient breadth to encompass the full range of relevant biopsychosocial and health policy issues. This Journal aims to promote greater awareness of the health concerns particular to each sexual minority population, and to improve availability and delivery of culturally appropriate healthcare services. LGBT Health also encourages further research and increased funding in this critical but currently underserved domain. The Journal provides a much-needed authoritative source and international forum in all areas pertinent to LGBT health and healthcare services. Contributions from all continents are solicited including Asia and Africa which are currently underrepresented in sex research.
