To estimate the prevalence of chronic pain (CP) in the adult population living in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, and to identify factors associated with CP in developing countries.
A cross-sectional study using a computer-assisted telephone interview in a two-stage stratified sample of adults living in households.
2,446 subjects were interviewed. The mean age was 39.8 years old. The majority was female and 42.7% had less than 10 years of education. The prevalence of CP was 28.1%. The independent factors associated with CP were female gender (OR = 2.0; p < 0.001), age older than 65 years (OR = 1.4; p = 0.019) and less than 15 years of education (OR = 1.3-1.6; p < 0.04).
The prevalence of CP was high and similar to that which has been reported in developed countries. These results raise awareness about CP and may potentially help clinicians and policy makers to design better health care programs for CP treatment in these populations.
评估居住在巴西圣保罗市成年人群中慢性疼痛(CP)的患病率,并确定发展中国家与CP相关的因素。
采用计算机辅助电话访谈,对居住在家庭中的成年人进行两阶段分层抽样的横断面研究。
共访谈了2446名受试者。平均年龄为39.8岁。大多数为女性,42.7%的人受教育年限少于10年。CP的患病率为28.1%。与CP相关的独立因素为女性(比值比[OR]=2.0;p<0.001)、65岁以上(OR=1.4;p=0.019)以及受教育年限少于15年(OR=1.3 - 1.6;p<0.04)。
CP的患病率较高,与发达国家报道的患病率相似。这些结果提高了对CP的认识,并可能有助于临床医生和政策制定者为这些人群设计更好的CP治疗医疗保健方案。
