Pain interference in young adulthood and work participation.

Chronic pain is associated with reduced work participation, but longitudinal data on the work impact of chronic pain are limited. We used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 cohort to analyze how pain interference in early adulthood was associated with subsequent exit from the labor force in a longitudinal survey. Pain interference at age 29 and employment status were self-reported at subsequent biennial interviews.
