Aging: Pain and worry about health in older men and the CHAMP study
San Jose Care Resource Guide: Pain and health worry seem to be a common issue for older people. Here is a link to a study on a group of 1217 community-dwelling men in australia, aged 70
years or older the CHAMP study, published in the pain journal.
Results are interesting,quoting :
- 12.5% had persistent and intrusive pain,
- 22.4% were worried about their health,
- and 6.3% had anxiety.
Let us us rephrase this:
Of the men studied,
- 87.5% did not have persistent and intrusive pain,
- 77.6% were not worried about their health,
- and 93.7% did not have anxiety
Remarkable! The Australian sun?
