“…Several Brazilian studies show that middle-aged individuals (40 to 59 years) and those over 60 years present a higher prevalence of chronic pain (varying between 51 and 67%), mainly musculoskeletal pain (14 to 47%) [1][2][3] . Chronic pain is the main cause of complaints in hospitals and outpatient clinics and a frequent symptom in anamnesis for older adults 4,5 . Approximately 45% to 80% of the older adults institutionalized suffer at least one type of pain, being 61% prevalent for middle-aged individuals, especially women.…”
