“…Even though chronic pain is increasing worldwide, it is still underestimated as a poorly known health issue with financial impact and relevance to both public and private healthcare systems, and also as a modifying factor of the population's life quality, once Brazil is still crawling in terms of pain epidemiology knowledge . [Carvalho et al 2018].Chronic pain can be defined as the one that lasts longer than three months after the injury that first caused it, or six months for research purposes, recent studies on this topic have shown that most of the information collected in Brazil goes back over the past 10 years to a prevalence that ranges from 29.3% to 53.3% of the population and is higher in women [Araújo e Vasconcelos, 2018].…”

“…A dor crônica, apesar de estar aumentando no mundo, continua a ser subestimada tanto como problema de saúde quanto como fator comprometedor da qualidade de vida da população. O impacto financeiro da dor crônica nos sistemas de saúde, público e privado, ainda é pouco conhecido e o Brasil parece estar ainda longe de ter dados epidemiológicos confiáveis e robustos acerca da incidência e prevalência da dor em âmbito nacional e regional (Carvalho et al, 2018). Estudos mais aprofundados sobre a epidemiologia da dor e a geração de dados eletrônicos mais abrangentes e confiáveis se fazem necessários (Andrade, 2014).…”

“…Observational studies on chronic pain among older people in Brazil all have a cross-sectional design and only offer data on direct associations. These studies report the prevalence of chronic pain to range from 29.3% to 73.3%, with a greater frequency in the female sex 11,12 .…”
