- The study explored the relationship between pain and frailty in older adults, using data from over 22,000 individuals aged 60 and above from six European countries.
- It found significant links between pain indicators, such as widespread pain and pain severity, and the likelihood of being prefrail or frail, particularly noting that advancing age and being female increased these risks.
- Additionally, there were notable country-specific differences in frailty prevalence, offering insights into how pain and demographic factors uniquely affect older populations across Europe.
