Abstract

Introduction: Chronic pain affects more than 1 in 5 American adults, and its effects are not evenly distributed throughout the population.

Methods: Using the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), a household-based annual survey of self-reported health status of U.S. adults, this cross-sectional study describes differences in the prevalence of chronic pain and its effects across socioeconomic groups.

Results: In univariate analyses, chronic pain was more prevalent among female respondents, persons with lower educational attainment, non-Hispanic White individuals, and those who were insured as well as those who were married. After accounting for all other demographic factors, age, female sex, and lower educational attainment were associated with higher odds of having chronic pain, whereas Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black race were associated with lower odds. Despite lower odds of having chronic pain, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black race were associated with greater odds of reporting more severe pain than White race. There were no significant differences across race in the effects of pain on life, work, or family, although female sex and lower educational attainment were associated with greater effects of pain on these domains. Educational attainment was the only characteristic associated with greater odds of ineffective pain management after accounting for all other demographic factors.

Conclusions: Implications for reducing disparities in the treatment of chronic pain are discussed.

人口因素对美国成年人慢性疼痛的影响
本研究利用2019年全国健康访谈调查,调查了美国成年人的人口统计学因素与慢性疼痛之间的关系。摘要简介:超过五分之一的美国成年人患有慢性疼痛,其影响在整个人群中分布不均匀。方法:使用国家健康访谈调查(NHIS),这是一项基于家庭的美国成年人自我报告健康状况年度调查,这项横断面研究描述了不同社会经济群体慢性疼痛患病率及其影响的差异。结果:在单变量分析中,慢性疼痛在女性受访者、教育程度较低的人、非西班牙裔白人、有保险的人和已婚的人中更为普遍。在考虑了所有其他人口统计学因素后,年龄、女性和较低的教育程度与患慢性疼痛的几率较高有关,而西班牙裔和非西班牙黑人与较低的几率有关。尽管患有慢性疼痛的几率较低,但西班牙裔和非西班牙籍黑人比白人报告更严重疼痛的几率更大。疼痛对生活、工作或家庭的影响在不同种族之间没有显著差异,尽管女性和较低的教育程度与疼痛对这些领域的影响更大有关。在考虑了所有其他人口统计学因素后,受教育程度是唯一与无效疼痛管理几率更大相关的特征。结论:讨论了减少慢性疼痛治疗差异的意义。
