| Annotation | The relationships among pain, health and psychological well-being were examined in a secondary analysis of a ten-year study of community-dwelling older women (aged 60+). Over time, there was an increase in the percentage of women reporting pain and a significant increase in the mean level of pain, although 24% of the women never reported pain. Subjective health declined as pain increased over time compared to women whose pain did not increase. Future research needs to examine how women maintain psychological well-being as they age in spite of increased pain. (KJ/RH). |
