Food insecurity is associated with chronic pain and high-impact chronic pain in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: These findings illustrate the impact of socioeconomic factors on chronic pain and suggest that food insecurity may be a social determinant of chronic pain. Further research is needed to better understand the complex relationship between food insecurity and chronic pain and to identify targets for interventions. Moreover, the consideration of food insecurity in the clinical assessment of pain and pain-related conditions among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults may be warranted.PMID:38087858 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002732
