Abstract:
BACKGROUND:To estimate the prevalence of pain among people aged 45 years and older in China, to analyze the effect factors of pain and pain related economic burden. METHODS:Nationally representative sample was derived from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Pain data, medical cost data were obtained, as well as information of demographic characteristics, social structure, social-economic status, other health needs and health behaviors. The prevalence of pain in 2011, 2013, and 2015 was calculated. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to find the effect factors of pain. An optimization two-part model was used to calculate the range of the direct medical costs caused by pain. RESULTS:The prevalence of pain among people 45 years or older in China was 31.73% in 2011, 37.27% in 2013 and 28.62% in 2015. When evaluating factors lead a higher prevalence of pain, the results of the multi-variable after one-way analysis were older age, female, lower education, rural residents, without insurance status, abstained from alcohol and lower body mass index (BMI). Through the optimization of two-part model, the direct medical costs caused by pain was 898.9-1563.0 yuan in 2011, 2035.8-2568.7 yuan in 2013 and 2628.8-3945.7 yuan in 2015 (129.9US$ - 225.9US$ in 2011, 294.2 US$ - 371.2US$ in 2013 and 379.9US$ - 570.2US$ in 2015, converted to 2010 RMB). CONCLUSION:The prevalence of pain among middle-aged and elderly Chinese is high. Residents with older age, female, lower education, rural residents, without insurance status, abstained from alcohol and lower BMI seem to have a higher pain prevalence. Pain can cause extra direct medical costs and will cause more economic loss with the progress of time. Future research should pay more attention to effective treatment, management and prevention of pain to decrease its burden.
