Abstract

Chronic pain contributes to both physical and cognitive impairment, but the role of life-space mobility (LSM) in the pathway is unclear. We examined the cross-sectional association of pain with falls and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and explored whether LSM mediates these associations in 279 Veterans (mean age=73.3±5.0y) in the Aging Back Clinics trial with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Data on pain characteristics, falls during the prior 3 months, Quick MCI screen, and Life-Space Assessment were collected. Logistic regression models showed that more severe pain was associated with greater odds of falls (OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.01-1.36), recurrent falls (OR=1.26, 95%CI=1.04-1.52), and MCI (OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.01-1.35), adjusting for sociodemographic and health characteristics. More pain interference was associated with greater odds of recurrent falls (OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.03-1.20). Structural equation modeling showed that LSM fully mediated the associations of pain severity and pain interference with MCI. Further longitudinal studies are needed to validate our findings.

生活空间活动在慢性腰痛特征与跌倒和认知障碍的关系中的作用

慢性疼痛会导致身体和认知障碍，但生活空间移动（LSM）在这一途径中的作用尚不清楚。我们研究了疼痛与跌倒和轻度认知障碍（MCI）的横断关联，并探讨LSM是否介导了279名患有慢性腰痛（CLBP）的退伍军人（平均年龄=73.3±5.0岁）的这些关联。收集疼痛特征、前3个月跌倒、快速MCI筛查和生活空间评估数据。Logistic回归模型显示，在调整社会人口统计学和健康特征后，更严重的疼痛与更大的跌倒几率（OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.01-1.36）、复发性跌倒（OR=1.26, 95%CI=1.04-1.52）和MCI （OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.01-1.35）相关。更多的疼痛干扰与更高的跌倒复发几率相关（OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.03-1.20）。结构方程模型表明，LSM完全介导了疼痛严重程度和疼痛干扰与MCI的关联。需要进一步的纵向研究来验证我们的发现。
