Abstract

Introduction: In process of getting old, different systems of the body get weak and this increases the dependence of adults on other people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of musculoskeletal PAIN and its correlation with FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY.Methods: In this cross-sectional study 1614 old persons participated. The study was done in AMIR COLA in 1390-91. The information was gathered by three questionnaires of demographic features, PAIN and FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY (Katz Scale). The data was analyzed by the chi square statistical test.Results: 54.7% of the participants were male and 45.35 were female. PAIN was reported for 1330 people (82.4%) that 47.5% was in upper body, 73.2% in lower body and 24.5% in head and neck. PAIN in upper body was mostly reported in shoulders for 606 people (37.5%) and for lower body mostly in knees for 1018 people (63.1%). PAIN was reported in females more than males and females had PAIN in lower body (knee) more than other parts of the body. In this study 3.7% of people had FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY. There was no significant correlation between PAIN and FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY (P=0.24).Conclusions: The results of this research showed high prevalence of musculoskeletal PAIN in OLD PEOPLE of AMIR COLA. Prevalence of PAIN in women was higher than in man. The most prevalent of PAIN area was knee joint. This indicates the necessity of medical interventions in form of prevention training.
